THE OBSERVATION
Look closely.
Tracking follows footprints, trails and other signs of animal activity. This pathway connects close field observation with the observatory's attention to wildlife and its surroundings.

Make a record.
Record place, time, weather and substrate. Photograph a track with a size reference, then note its shape, spacing and direction. Compare it with a regional field guide and record uncertainty in the identification without disturbing wildlife.
Keep the original observation, the method and any interpretation together in the record.
