Field Notes
Description:
Raccoons have an unusual way of walking where each hind foot lands next to the opposite front foot. Their prints show 5 long toes in the front and hind tracks. The track on the left is the left front and the track on the right is the right hind. Front tracks tend to splay wider than the hind. The palm pad of the hind track is usually larger.
Habitat:
Upper Texas Coast (UTC 082) BAY AREA PARK: This Harris County park is situated on Armand Bayou. It has a long board walk for excellent views of the upper part of the bayou. Lots of tracks in the soft mud under the boardwalk. Most were raccoon.
Notes:
First official stop on Part 2 of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. It will cover the lower part of the Upper Texas Coastal Trail; Galveston, TX to Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge.
