Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta)Observer
thunefeldDescription
First impression: grackle or thrasher. Many tracks In a weedy dune sand environment, where we would expect Meadowlark. No water for miles makes great tailed grackle unlikely here in the Sonoran desert. Appeared to have been a flock, which is more fitting of Meadowlark than thrasher. All gaits were a walk… no running. Poppele and Elbroch compare Meadowlark tracks to Thrasher, magpie and grackle.

I originally took these photos because they had raccoons, but there are apparently nutria in there as well. And muskrat?

Kit Fox (Vulpes macrotis)Observer
herptrackerDescription
The front and hind of a kit fox. As appears to often be the case in loose sand, these were a bit obscured.
Likely due to the furry feet and reduced pads.

One scat deposited by gray fox on 10/5/19. The second scat was deposited, over-marking the first one, on 10/9/19. Note: First scat got stepped on when I had visitors, but it's the same as shown in the first photo. The second one is the darker one made of grape seeds and husks. First one is manzanita berries.
