Animal Tracks of the Pacific Northwest
September 24 (class) and 25 (field trip)
Ever wonder who made that
track? How to tell a dog track from a
cat track? What animals have eighteen
toes? How do trackers go about
identifying a footprint anyway? Answers
to these questions and more await you in this class and field trip on identifying
the tracks of Northwest mammals and birds.
Tracker, teacher, researcher
and author David Moskowitz and
Portland Audubon’s Steve Engel team up to lead you into the world of tracking.
David is author of the recently released Wildlife
of the Pacific Northwest: Tracking and Identifying Mammals, Birds, Reptiles,
Amphibians, and Invertebrates and is actively researching wolves in the Pacific Northwest.
Steve is Audubon’s Adult Education Coordinator and has been collecting
and studying tracks since 1981. Register Online
