Deer Scat in Cedar Canyon Nature Park

Date: 9-18-2017
Locality: Cedar Canyon Nature Park
Area 1 (directions): The scat was found several meters away from the trail that winds through Cedar Canyon Nature Park (south side) near the waterfall
Area 2 (habitat): The scat was found on a slight slope between the river and the mountain. There were patches of slightly tall grass and sage brush surrounding the dirt in which the scat lay.
Fellow observers: I was alone at the time of observation
Time of day: 11:45 AM
Amount of time: 5 minutes
Wind: 3
Temperature: 70 F
Sky conditions and precipitation: Mostly clear sky. Had recently rained
Elevation: Approx. 5850 ft
Species list: I identified the scat as belonging to the order artiodactyla. I am having some difficulty differentiating rabbit scat from deer scat, but based on the size and shape, I believe this scat belongs to a deer. Most likely belongs to one individual animal and the sex is unidentifiable from evidence.
