Members of the Peterborough Field Naturalists (PFN) were able to choose from a range of dates including March 3, 5 and 7 to look for tracks and birds. Friday March 3rd proved to be the most productive highlighting Ermine and Fisher. Eastern Cottontail and Red Squirrel tracks were seen during all three dates. Challenges to finding tracks included deep snow that was subject to daily melt turning crusty at night. Few of the nightly tracks registered due to the crusty snow. Among the 11 species submitted to eBird, a male Red-winged Blackbird was noteworthy.
