The Winners
Tracking  Challenge 2: 
Squirreling Around!

Category 1: the Clearest Squirrel Tracks

The winner for the clearest tracks goes to Graham Hulbert for these tracks found near Mt Hood.

It is not often we get to see the toes show up in squirrel tracks!
Squirrels are small, lightweight animals. In order for the details of their feet to be seen, snow conditions have to be almost perfect. The snow has to be soft and fluffy so that each toe will sink in individually, it can't be too deep, and the snow also has to stop falling at some point, since new snow will obscure the details. Here in the Pacific NW, where most of our snow is wet and heavy, and days without precipitation can be few and far between, tracks like these are not common.

Graham is a Tracking Leader with the Wolverine Tracking Project and found the tracks while carrying out a tracking survey near Little John SnoPark. What a great find!
