Animal Tracks and Sign

This gallery contains the tracks of the animals of New England. I've tried to identify the tracks to the best of my ability but I'm by no means an expert. For a definitive source on tracking I recommend "Tracking & the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Sign" by Paul Rezendes or "A Field Guide to Mammal Tracking in North America" by James Halfpenny. If you see an mislabled photos on my site, please leave a comment and I'll make corrections. Thanks.

I havew some excellent-quality paw prints in snow that look an awfully lot like a bobcat--which would be very unusual here in Litchfield, CT. How do I show them to this board?

Guest (below) - we're not idiots. We just like to harvest our own organic foods the way our ancestors did. Idiots are those who rely solely on grocery stores to provide them with everything.

Thanks for the site...simple to follow.

I am trying to identify what took two of my hens night before last. The ground was frozen that night but good and muddy last night. I found alot of tracks out there this morning. One appears to be a fox (small canine). I saw racoon tracks and one five toed track. What ever it was came in a pair because two hens were taken. All that was left was the feathers in two different clusters typical of the point where the culprit(s) stopped to get a good hold before taking off with theri catch.

Thank you very much for this site! I am thrilled to find that we have wild turkeys living in the ravine behind the house. Who knows what else we'll find, now that the idiot who killed anything that moved has left the area.
