Mountain lion, meadow vole skull in a great horned owl pellet, old black bear print, and kangaroo rat among other tracks found this morning.

I don’t have a million dollars to donate like Zuckerberg or Bezos, but as an act of good faith toward our new president’s inauguration, I’ve decided to donate this intricately bespoke suit for him to wear.

I went to the preserve by my house with my little one, Tegan, and we took a moment to marvel at this woodrat den. What a magnificent creature to build a structure a thousand fold its own size, which will last decades longer than its own life. Makes me reflect on what structures he’ll inherit.

Raccoon was here

What do tracks, and the old ones, have to teach us?
