Winter is a great time to practice your detective skills. While many mammals are nocturnal, they do leave behind evidence of their activities such as footprints and scat. Join this informative webinar to learn how to identify tracks and scat of our common Virginia wildlife. Ranger Emily will also lead us through some interactive tracking mysteries to help us practice our observation and naturalist skills. Do you have a photo of some mystery tracks? Email it to tina@audubonva.org and we may cover it during the presentation!
