Mammals of the Upland section of the Green Mountain Audobon Nature Center

Squirrels- evidence of the red squirrel can be seen on a simple rock. Pieces of a pulled apart pine cone are the remains of a red spuirrel eating the pine nuts inside the cone.

Deer-remains of a deer fawn were found lying next to a stream. Evidence to support the fact that the deer was a young male fawn was the small protrutions found on the skull. These were the beginnings of antlers.

New molars coming into the jaw also supported our theory.

Chipmunks- a bold chipmunk greeted us one afternoon by sticking his small head out of his hiding place.

Beavers- This picture shows a beaver has been in the woods of the upland section!

Rodents- deer bones found away from the deer hide is evidence of rodents, who chew the calcium out of the bones with their sharp teeth.
