TRACKING COURSE - Anza Borrego

Photos taken during the Intermediate Level Tracking Course
offered by ABDI

Flowers are out in Anza Borrego. Wonderful array of colours.
Deep, deep blues and blood reds. Bright whites and yellows.
Large flowers and microscopic ones that pop out of the desert
floor at the slightest hint of humidity.

And the reason we were there...tracking class.

Borrego track. Fairly fresh. Not really visible in photo but
the print was darker inside telling us that it was still not
dried out. So, probably an early morning print?

Quail print. Also saw a few quail run past behind us later,

which gave us the opportunity to look at fresh prints.

And, of course, there is always plenty of scat to look at.
This is coyote on the left. Dry and old. But this on left is
fresher. It was identified as coyote as well, but the stools
are quite different from the usual coyote. A lot of seeds in it
and possibly a little fur...maybe coyote...my initial guess was racoon.
