Animal Tracking at Marble Brook

The great Vermont animal tracker and naturalist Susan Morse (www.keepingtrack.org) says that there are two important things for animal tracking:  Knowing where to look, and then Looking.  Well Marble Brook, a privately conserved area is an incredible place to look.  I have permission to take us into the area.  In the past, I've tracked bobcat, porcupine, coyote, fisher, moose, beaver, and black bear (the wild variety).  And we're going to go look on February 1st.  Can't guarantee  what we'll find or even if the conditions will be good for tracking.  If they aren't, we'll just have a nice hike through beautiful fields and forests to a beaver pond.  We'll also be putting up remote trail cameras to get some pictures (two pictures from previous sets are attached).  If there's snow, bring your snowshoes if you have them but they're not required.  Rain or heavy snow cancels.  Unfortunately because its private land, no dogs allowed this time.  All levels of tracking ability are welcome, from beginners to Montana backcountry guides.  Hopefully it will be a nice day to get out and be in the woods.  Afterwards, we'll head back to my place for hot soup and warm conversation.
