At least half of our +/- 35 species of mammals in NH can be assigned to this group, and many have incredibly specific eating habits that play a tremendous role in balancing ecosystem dynamics. This program will cover the ecology of most of the well-known predators that range through our woods, fields, and back yards, and will discuss some of the threats to their existence. Some of the more common, wide-ranging species will be looked for during our field session on Saturday the 10th of February by virtue of their tracks, scat, and other sign.
