What
Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)Observer
kristifreeseDescription
Found under a bridge among domestic dog tracks. However, gait, behavior, amount of hair in pad, and minimal register of rear metacarpal pad suggest it may be a fox? Based on size and shape, my guess is gray fox, rather than red fox.

kristifreeseDescription
Rodent tracks, found under bridge near running water. Possibly a Western Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys megalotis) based on asymmetry of hind feet? Or possibly a vole of some kind?
