A guide to finding animals that live in open, grassy spaces by identifying their tracks, their nests, the sounds they make, and other marks they make to show they have been in the area.
Describes how to find and identify footprints, droppings, nests, feathers, fur, and other common clues left by seventeen wild animals as they pursue their lives in woods, fields, and along ponds.
Illustrates and describes the tracks of beavers, herons, frogs, and other wetland creatures, with information on the sounds they make, their paw prints, and their dwellings.
The reader is invited to follow the paw prints of a rambunctious golden retriever and then identify his animal friends, including a cat, a raccoon, a bear, and others, by studying their tracks in the snow.
