In Scats and Tracks of the Great Plains, we focus on the biogeographic region from northern Texas to the Dakotas and into portions of Canada, with details about the region’s most common or characteristic species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Each species is described with concisely worded yet detailed information, easily accessible by fast and easy navigation. Simple to use and intuitively designed, field-friendly and richly illustrated, this app is the key to starting off your outing on the right track!

See those animal signs on the trail? Was that footprint left by a dog or a coyote? Was that pile of droppings deposited by an elk or an antelope? FalconGuides’ Scats and Tracks of the Great Plains will help you determine which mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians have passed your way and could still be nearby.

This incomparable reference also includes a few rare species of particular interest or significance in this region. For example, what a coup it would be to document a swift fox, or a pocket mouse, or a horned lizard!
