sydneyludwickDescription
This is Barry the bat! Barry has been living here for a while. He was alone, snoozing behind some recycling bins while clinging to the wall. His fur is black with silver/yellow tips - making it apparent that he was a silver-haired bat. He was also very small! If you go visit him, please be quiet and don't tell too many people.

Domestic Dog (Canis familiaris)Observer
sydneyludwickDescription
The track was about as large at my hand. The image makes it look like there were claw marks, but there weren't. It looks as thought the track was three lobed, which makes believe it was a Mountain Lion.
The track was right next to the trail and heading in the direction of a small stream nearby.
Important Note: This was at Monument National Park, dogs are not allowed here.

Multiple tracks were seen on a frozen river. The tracks were not spaced apart and they were in a straight line. This suggests that the rabbit was hopping to it's destination and not running from a predator.
