smaller tracks that have claimed your attention,
tracks that are visible in the soft earth. Learn
to distinguish those of rabbit from those the
squirrel has made. This is easy If you will be
member that in running the rabbit places both
fore feet close together and spreads the hind
feet apart, while the squirrel places all feet at
