You're right--no need to race long. It is a process and a journey. I doubt I can repeat 6 plant journals on a daily basis :-). Just wanted to get my brain wired to dealing with the plant journaling. Boy, I know what you mean about Bird Language --…

Very good so four more done today? Excellent! I only got two bird family journals done today so I am at 40 of 43. Still trying to get done with 3.4 before the new moon... I read about 100 pages of Bird Behavior Handbook today. I had forgotten to do…

What a great sandy patch! Is this in your sit spot area? I am seeing lots of tracks in this photo... Can you pull out your Elbroch and list what he says a Mink should be in terms of track dimension, straddle and stride?

Could this be Mink track? Help requested.

I feel like from these print and trail photos I should have enough info to ID this track. But, since I am a novice, perhaps more experienced trackers can help either confirm the guess I have made or help me see what I am missing. My current guess i…
