Mammals

In the mammals section of the count page, you have the option to report any mammals that you observe in your count site during your count that you think was attracted by something that you provide or the activity in your count site. The list is roughly divided by size with some mammals grouped together to keep the species list relatively short. You can report domesticated mammals like cats and dogs, and wild mammals ranging in size from mouse to moose. If you observe a type of mammal that is not on the list, you can write it into the “other” field at the bottom of the list. Mammals in groupings, such as squirrels, should be counted together as if they were one species. So if you see a red squirrel in the morning and a gray squirrel in the afternoon but never see the two squirrels at the same time during a two-day count, then you should report a count of one squirrel.
