This book, as its title implies, is intended as an introduction to the art and science
of tracking. You’ll eventually want other field guides in addition to this one: books
about mammal (or bird or reptile) identification, with range maps and life history
information. An advanced tracking book will be useful as well, such as Olaus J.
Murie’s Animal Tracks—a remarkable compendium of information about the natural
history and tracking of North American mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. Plant
books are useful for identifying plants used by animals you are tracking. Look also for
nature guides to your region.
Use this book as a tool to get started enjoying the art of tracking. Develop yourthree skills—observation, patience, and awareness—and build your library of notes
on the tracks in your ecosystem. We provide a starting point for learning about the
animals, but you’ll no doubt want to delve further with other sources of natural
history information. Finally, we provide information on how to use animal tracking
in conservation projects, so that future generations will have as much fun as we do
in discovering the world of animal tracking.
