We (formerly Nashaway Trackers) are a group of loosely connected nature lovers who enjoy sharing our observations and discoveries about the fauna and flora of the northeastern US. Most of us are especially interested in mammal tracks and sign, but we also post about birds, insects, plants, etc.

Tracking quiz
Flip through all of your tracking books and find the Latin name of the animal which made these marks in the snow at Mohawk Trail State Forest, at the edge of a meadow.
It is so gratifying to see that you missed a truly magical experience yesterday, Dan, but I will suspend hyperbole for a moment to admit that it was not quite that magical.
Gosh, did I go too far with the whispering trees? I hope I haven't encouraged your interest in that New Jersey tracking school.
You're headed in the right direction, Dan. It is important for me to note, however, that during our examination of this site, we found no evidence of glitter. This, of course, rules out the family of starponia in the equus unicornis genera. Perhaps you should consider the princessponia or bigeyeponia families, whose tracks are somewhat similar.
