LCA
Tracking Cards
 |
The
Lewis Creek Association (LCA) Tracking Cards are unusual because the
tracks are shown full size. Some of them, such as the moose and bear
tracks, are so large they run right off the edge of the cards!
They’re also waterproof, so you can use them in snowy and muddy
conditions—the best for tracking—without damaging them. You can
place the cards on the ground next to a track you’re studying and
see immediately which is the best match in size and shape without
having to do any math (such as “If it’s 5/8 of an inch wide and 1/3
its normal size, how big is it?”). |
|
Because track sizes
vary depending on the substrate and the animal’s age, sex, and
activity, these cards may not exactly match the tracks you find. But
they’ll be close enough that you should be able to distinguish
between related species (is it a house cat, bobcat or catamount?)
and those that have the same walking pattern. Used with a field
guide that gives details about gaits, behaviors, and habitats, these
cards are a wonderful tool for wildlife tracking enthusiasts.
