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
