Heron Tracks
I just spent a very busy four days walking up and down the beaches of Florida's Panhandle. I was counting heron tracks for a wildlife index. I had three sites, each about an hour and a half walk along white-sand shoreline. I learned a lot about heron habits and tendencies but also made some sketches of the tracks out there in the state and national parks. Besides heron tracks, I also encountered some other big bird tracks. The one on the right isn't from a heron. It's an osprey track. The real giveaway was the slightly sideways projecting toe. It was nearly as large as the track of the heron, though.
