Field Notes

Description:

White-tailed deer tracks spotted along the banks of a small stream. Photo 1 of 3 was annotated to show the deer's direction of travel toward the stream (red arrow, pointing forward); Photo 2 of 3 is the original photograph. Grooves in the moist soil (perpendicular to the stream), evident in all photos, may indicate that the deer slid down the stream banks as it crossed the creek. Note: The blue rectangle in Photo 1 highlights human tracks (the impression made by an athletic shoe), probably made before the deer tracks.
