Animal Sign Photo: I took this photo on a class field trip to Stone Valley on February 10th, 2014. Stone Valley is in Colton, St. Lawrence County and is an amazing place to go explore nature. This photo shows the tracks of a Snowshoe Hare. Snowshoes, favor areas with condensed cover such as softwood forests, heavily covered wetlands and thickets. Snowshoe Hare's tracks show four toes in the snow and the hind feet leave a large rectangular to triangular shaped imprint in the snow. This field trip was great because it snowed the day before, leaving us with fresh new tracks. Stone Valley is a great place to try and track snowshoe hares and many more animals such as, river otters, porcupines, coyotes, and more.
