TRANSITION AREAS - these are excellent locations to find animals.The middle of the field is open territory for hawks and owls. There is little or no cover except at the side of the fields. Generally there are some raccoons, birds, rabbits, but very few others. There is little undergrowth and poor cover. Deep Forest - very poor as an animal habitat.Vole - most prolific rodent, and a major food source for all predators.If one of these is present it is a good habitat, if all are it is an excellent habitat. Indicator Animals - the presence of these animals is an indicator of the "value" of the habitat.They get water from dew and from the plants they eat. Water - this is not essential since many herbivores don't need it.Therefore, having various types of vegetation that come in at different times helps to maintain an ongoing food supply. Going outside of the habitat is dangerous.
A good supply is necessary to be able to stay in the habitat/home.
About 1/2 of tracking is sign tracking the other 1/2 is working with actual tracks. Signs are anything besides a track proper that is an indication of an animal (e.g. Much of this is done by what is called "sign tracking". The first thing to learn about tracking is knowing where to look for animals. Always remember that you are only a visitor into their habitat. Escaping from a human prescence could rob them of enough energy that they can no longer sustain themselves. For example, in winter, many animals are severely stressed to gather enough energy to stay alive. Getting too close to animals can cause serious disturbances including: abandoning young, disturbing nesting grounds, damaging foraging areas, and may even cause the animal's death.
You must treasure this gift and respect the animals by being non-intrusive. It gives you the ability to come into the center of the lives and homes of animals. Learning to track is a sacred responsibility. A dent in the forest floor may be the track of a fallen branch." Look at the ground as if it were a manuscript of the animal's life." "A track is a window to the past of an animal. Ultimately, with practice, you can read very difficult books with a great deal of hidden meaning." First you start with the ABC's then you work up to simple sentences, then to paragraphs and finally to books. The track itself is one such ring, so is the call of the blue jay that scolds you as you walk beneath his tree."

From each passing there are a series of concentric rings than ripple out. A track is the earth's reaction to your passing over it. Gravity ultimately wants everything to be at the same level. The track/print/geology is made and then slowly worn down or built upon by the forces of natural erosion and gravity. The Pine Barrens are a geological track, the Mississippi River is a track, and so are the Rocky Mountains. "The earth is a manuscript, being written and unwritten every day.
