Date: 10-9-2017
Locality: Cedar Canyon Nature Park
Area 1 (directions): The tracks were found right on the banks of the river that runs through cedar canyon nature park. They were about 100 yards west of the big waterfall.
Area 2 (habitat): The tracks were found in some wet mud a couple feet from the water. There were only rocks and dirt for several yards around the track but on top of the steep bank near the tracks there were several trees and bushes.
Fellow observers: I was alone at the time of observation
Time of day: 3:05
Amount of time: 7 minutes
Wind: Beaufort scale 3
Temperature: 70 F
Sky conditions and precipitation: Mostly clear sky. Several small clouds
Elevation: Approx. 5850 ft
Species list: I identified the tracks as belonging to 2 different mammals. There was what appeared to be 1 deer (artiodactyla) track right next to what looked like 1 raccoon (carnivora) track. There were several markings in the mud that looked like other tracks but did not allow for any clear identification. sex was not identifiable from the tracks.
