What is it Wednesday archive: April 11, 2018

Can you identify what's in this photo?

Each Wednesday morning 

on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page

 the Lutherlyn Environmental Education Program posts a photo. 

Readers have all morning and afternoon 

to make their best guess about what the photo is. 

Around 6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.

Each week's What is it Wednesday post 

will also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog, 

the day after it is posted on Facebook,

sometimes with additional bonus information. 

In addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday 

on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog, 

we will be reposting old editions,

creating a What is it Wednesday archive. 

This photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on April 11, 2018. 

And the answer is....

The tracks in the blue circles are of a turkey, walking away from the viewer. 

The tracks in the red circle are of a rabbit, hopping towards the viewer. The two rabbit prints closest to the viewer are of the rabbit’s hind feet as they swing forward and hit the ground together side by side.

One of the (few?) nice things about the late snows we’ve been getting this spring is that they provide a great opportunity to see more animal tracks!
