Hunting hawk leaves tracks at Litzsinger
We all have seen a variety of animal tracks in the snow over the past several weeks. Thank goodness the Glass House Quiz from the February newsletter gave us a head start on identifying what tracks belong to whom.
Last week we were fortunate enough to see some unusual tracks here at LREC. Anne noticed our resident red-shouldered hawk diving along the hillside near the Glass House. Later that afternoon, she guided us out for a spectacular show in the snow:
Several marks were left as the hawk hunted for prey.
With two final wing tracks, the mouse tracks come to an abrupt end...
A closer look at the wing tracks in the snow.
