Tracks in the Sand
On March 2nd, making our way from Anza-Borrego to Ajo, we stopped at the edge of some dunes that bordered Mexico in hopes of finding sand food. Originally I wasn't planning on getting out of the car, it was burning hot and my stomach was NOT happy at the Mexican food we had just eaten, but I heard Pedro yelling my name from somewhere in the distance. I reluctantly got out of the car to see what he needed and was pleasantly surprised when I walked over to see him pointing out animal tracks in the sand. Up until this point in the trip I saw only 1-2 distinct sets of animal tracks but this area was covered in them. The sand showed tracks much better than the rocky and soil terrains we spent most of the trip on. Everywhere you looked there were different tracks, most of them I couldn't even begin to guess what made them and a few that were pretty obvious. I took lots of pictures and in most of them I remembered to use something as a reference size (either my hand or my shoe). I haven't looked in my book of scat and tracks to confirm what made the tracks yet but I am very excited to figure it out!
