The Crappy Field Trip

We went on a field trip to the airport clearing on January 24th. The weather was sunny but cold. The snow was kind of icy. When we were walking we saw a squirrel! We also saw an old vole hole in the icy snow! There were a lot of moose there. We could tell because there was a lot of browsed willow!

We saw so many piles of scat that we called it the “Crappy Field Trip.” We saw 112 piles of scat! Greg also came along. He taught us that in the winter there are tiny pieces of moose scat. In the summer there are big pieces of moose scat! He taught us about dog tracks and how you can tell them apart from coyote tracks. He taught us a lot about tracks. We wouldn’t have learned about tracks and scat if it wasn’t for Greg.
