Introduction to Tracking Animals
I go up into the Mineral Hills Conservation Area, to take a look at what's moving and talk about the four basics of tracking: context, patterns, stride and straddle, and the tracks themselves. This is part of Kestrel Land Trust's Learning with the Land Series.
Happy 50th Kestrel Land Trust!!!

Piping Plovers bugging their mum
When the beach gets too hot for the piping plover kids, they just have mom keep them cool. But she can get sick of that. The second chick says "mom...mom..." These cute chicks are part of the Cape Cod National Seashore's commitment to preserving threatened and endangered species. There may be less than 8,000 piping plovers left in the world. Now, 8,000 and 2! Remember, extinction is forever...
Little Blue Heron has a peculiar fishing technique...
I had the pleasure of watching an immature little blue heron fish at Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area in Florence, Massachusetts. Little blues usually never get this far north and if they do, they usually only stay by the coast. Very fun, and beautiful!
