| Many tracks at Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve |
For a few years now, I've been going out and around San Diego County, learning to read animal signs like footprints, scat, and rubs. The amazing thing is that after three hours of looking at the ground for wildlife, we come home feeling satisfied with our conquests. What were they? Sets of deer track, deer poop, a coyote scat, woodrat scat, cottontail tracks, and one hind raccoon print. What do these things look like? Below are a set of random photos from various sites to illustrate some of my sightings. And yes, once in a while you actually see the wildlife! Then you know those pellets really did come from rabbits.
