What’s that strange screaming in the woods late at night? Several canids, or members of the “dog family,” live in the Northeast, and identifying them by sound, by track, and by sight can be tricky.

In this webinar with local expert Nikolas Katrick, we’ll learn about the canids that live here now and the iconic canids that lived here in the recent past -- and maybe, the future. Dust off your investigatory skills and learn to discern the difference between fox, coyote, dog , and wolf.
