Episode 1 is all about animal tracking! Joshua 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 (Discovery Semester 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 their Natural History Interpretation class, and talk about more animal signs with naturalist Doug Wentzel, including pileated woodpecker holes and porcupine scat!
