Animal Tracking — Incus & Iris Podcast Episode 1
Monday, 17 March, 2014
Episode 1 is all about animal tracking! Josh and Justin discuss the basics of tracking (place, pattern, and print), offer some simple resources and suggestions for the beginning tracker, and go for a walk on a snowy day to find some tracks. Later, we observe on an opossum carcass with School Programs Coordinator Kate "Ladybird" Jordan; students had witnessed a Red-tailed Hawk attack it the day prior, and we check out the aftermath. Finally, we go for a jaunt with Discovery Semester students for Natural History Interpretation, and talk about more animal signs with naturalist Doug Wentzel, including pileated woodpecker holes and porcupine scat! Although this winter may be winding down and giving way to spring, the mud that accompanies the melting snow is another great medium to look for tracks! There's never a better time to start discovering than the present. (Approx. 19 minutes)
