Outdoor Action Guide to Nature Observation & Stalking

Learning to track is a sacred responsibility. It gives you the ability to come into the center of the lives and homes of animals. You must treasure this gift and respect the animals by being non-intrusive. Getting too close to animals can cause serious disturbances including: abandoning young, disturbing nesting grounds, damaging foraging areas, and may even cause the animal's death. For example, in winter, many animals are severely stressed to gather enough energy to stay alive. Escaping from a human prescence could rob them of enough energy that they can no longer sustain themselves. Always remember that you are only a visitor into their habitat.

Outdoor Action Animal Tracking Cards

website

Animal Tracking Cards are a great way to learn basic track identification. Each Card shows a general type of animal showing the basic track shape, standard walking gait and some basic facts about the tracks of the animals in that family. Print up a set and take them with you on your next tracking adventure.
