Farm Tracking 101, Part 5
I hope you've had fun
exploring the world of barnyard tracks! If you want to learn more
about tracking, here are two of my favorite tracking books:
Peterson's
Field Guide to the Mammals --- This isn't really a tracking book,
but drawings of tracks are scattered throughout. I photocopied
all of the common ones onto one 11X14 sheet of paper ---
perfect for carrying out on the field on a snowy day!
Field
Guide to Tracking Animals in the Snow --- Once again, I photocopied
out one overview page which I carry with me in the field. It
breaks tracks down into walkers and bounders, and then gives you hints
to distinguish species from there.
Enjoy!
