See those animal signs on the trail? Was that footprint left by a fox or
a wolf? Was that pile of droppings deposited by a moose, a mouse, or a
marten? Scats and Tracks of the Midwest will help you determine which
mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians have passed your way and could
still be nearby in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Kentucky. Clearly written descriptions and illustrations of scats,
tracks, and gait patterns will help you recognize species across
America's heartland. 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 white tailed ptarmigan, a red fox, or even a black bear has been your
way.
