Who wants to play track ID?

[Aram]

Jamie, do you have a trailcam?

Not yet Aram. I need to start seriously looking into one though. Between the bobcats, bears, fishers and even a rumor of cougars, I can only imagine what I would get on one of those.

Shawn, so you can get to Climax by Surprise, right?   :D      

Thanks for your explanation Aram! And a little encouragement, once a year, will not harm    

Have to come back to the ?cat track though. The bobcat is your smallest cat species,  am I correct?
We have also the Wildcat (Felis sylvestris) which is little bigger then a house cat and who would leave a track like pictured by Brian.
To tell domestic from wild is done the same way as with wolf and dog: if you can draw a (lateral) line between the imprints of the toes it is either wolf or wildcat. If the line touches the front of the outer toes but goes through the imprints of the inner toes, it is dog or domestic cat.

Now what? Looks like a wildcat in the picture, but you don't have them, and it is to small for a bobcat. Can it be a young bobcat this time of year, or is there something missing in a zoo near by?! I would have said Fox, but then where are the claw marks?

It could have been a bobcat kitten? Maybe even a wolf pup?
For the record....Coxsackie is the indian name for land of the owls...  :rolleyes:
