Clearly written descriptions and illustrations of scats, tracks, and gait patterns will help you recognize seventy Northeastern species. An identification key, a glossary of tracking terms, and detailed instructions on how to document your finds are also included here. Easy-to-use scat and track measurements appear on each page, making this book especially field friendly and letting you know if a double-crested cormorant, a red fox, or even a black bear has been your way.
