Reading canine tracks 101


On my way up to check for ducks on the sewage lagoon this morning, I noticed that there was definitely foot traffic of the canine variety around the perimeter of the lagoon. The tracks followed the same path the deer take when they move through the area. Now I'm pretty much of a novice when it comes to identifying tracks, but (after reference to my animal tracks field guide) these tracks could be from a fox, with the one on the left being that of a hind foot, and on the right of a front foot.
