Small Island Ecology

For this past Tracking weekend we took a ferry out to Ragged Island about 16 miles off of the coast of Maine. The only mammals on the island are Snowshoe Hare, Muskrat, and Norway Rats. So we studied their tracks and sign closely and also did a lot of bird tracking. We found Bald Eagle tracks, crow, pheasant, seagull and many other bird tracks. It was a great weekend spent on a very unique and beautiful island. Here are some pictures:
