In one hour with my cellphone, I shot 53 observations and hit 23 different species during our BioBlitz in McCammon, ID.  I will include a couple favorite photos and a pop quiz for digital learners.  I spied 3 different piles of scat.  Digi-Learners:  Who left each pile behind do you think?

The first scat photo (brown spheres) are deer.  The second photo (tan spheres) rabbits or raccoons.  The third photo could be fox or coyote.  I realize I could be totally off base.  Let me know.

I think the first two are deer (the second with a different diet) and the other most likely coyote scat. 

Sounds like you guys were busy!  I really like the shot of the vans too.

That second picture of scat looks like Sugar Corn Pops.  Are you sure someone didn't just drop their bowl of breakfast cereal?  :)
