Beaver Bog Swamp at Great Hollow Wilderness School in New Fairfield. Another day of perfect tracking conditions out on the swamp. Raccoon Tracks. Front track on the left, note the crescent palm pad shape.
Raccoon in their typical pacing gait. Close up of Bobcat tracks, front is to the left, hind to the right. Over step walk of a bobcat indicative of a faster walk, covering some distance quickly and efficiently. Another overstep walk, this time a little slower. Deer out on the ice.
Bobcat in as far as I can tell an overstep walk. It is possibly a rotarty lope. The conditions could not have been more perfect. Here is a raccoon coming towards the camera in its typical pacing gait.
