A noted sculptor turns her talents to poetry in a collection that explores the satisfactions and complications of being a Pueblo Indian woman in the late twentieth century

Contains photographs and descriptions of animal and bird tracks as they appear in the wild, covering squirrels, rabbits, cats, bears, deer, and other creatures; and includes basic instructions on tracking skills and techniques.

Learn how to read the secret language of animal tracks. Find out how to tell how fresh tracks are, which animals made the, how fast they might have been traveling, and more.

Text and drawings explain how to identify wild animals by the tracks and other signs they leave.

Spotting an animal’s fresh footprints in the wild can conjure a world for the hiker: Why did the deer tracks disappear? Where did the cougar turn off the trail? What does it mean when two sets of footprints seem to coincide? This beautifully illustrated field guide, the first devoted to the tracks and signs of California animals—including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates like spiders and beetles—blends meticulous science with field experience to provide an engaging companion for both armchair exploration and easy field identification. Filled with useful tools for the wildlife expert, and essential background and visual aids for the novice, including in-depth information about the ecology of each species, this book goes beyond basic recognition of types to interpret what animals leave behind as a way of "seeing" how they move through the world.
