Mid-Coast Audubon: “Footprints and More! Introduction to Wildlife Tracking” with Janet Pesaturo (Zoom)

Thursday, April 16 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues on Thursday, April 16, at 6:30 PM with a Zoom presentation all about wildlife tracking.

This is a virtual presentation on Zoom. Register for the webinar and you will receive a link to join in your email.

Wildlife tracking is a useful skill for photographers, hunters, biologists, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts who want a deeper connection with wild creatures. It can involve much more than looking down at tracks. Interpreting trail patterns, scat, claw marks, hair snags, dens, beds, feeding sign, etc. are also useful, and often more revealing, and we will touch on all.

Join us for a Zoom presentation by Janet Pesaturo, who works to bring broader awareness, understanding, and appreciation of our natural world through camera trapping. She is the author of Camera Trapping Guide: Tracks, Sign, and Behavior of Eastern Wildlife.

Janet is focused on learning more about animal behavior by strategically placing trail cameras in “great animal spots.” Her goal is to share everything she learns about animals, animal behavior, and the techniques used to study them.
