As the sun climbs toward March there are
stirrings of life. Raccoons that have been partly
dormant begin to prowl for open water at the
edges of beaver ponds. Chipmunks emerge in
warm spells to leave their squirrel like trails in
the damp snow. Skunks rouse themselves from
semi-hibernation. As the upper layers of snow
melt, tunnels of red squirrels and shrews, long
hidden beneath the snow, are revealed. In their
dens male bears begin to shift restlessly.
Goshawks begin displaying early in the morning
above the treetops and great horned owls
appropriate the nests of other birds to lay their
eggs. All these animals and more leave signs of
the passage for the attentive tracker to find and
read. Come along on a late-winter or spring
program to discover them for yourself.
