Ohio, Close up, far away, and need an ID

[WannaDig3687]

I spent the evening with Mr. & Mrs. BuckIdgr. I could not get any photos of all the birds we heard singing, so we went for a walk. I was able to get a closeup shot of a little flower that didn't turn out too bad. I also got a shot of the moon, and one of a little Buckeye tree. We came across a deer print, but there is a little print right by it that I would like an ID, if you can. I have it circled in white.













Thanks for looking!

Armadillo.

Nice pics. My camera balks at taking pics of the moon for some reason. I mean, I get ok pics but not nearly that sharp.

 

[worldtalker]

You're getting better Sis,that second to last pic looks an awful lot like Cannabis.

GOD Bless

Looks like armadillo or a older worn deer track

I think its lupine? beautiful flowers, not nice to smoke like cannabis

 

[DizzyDigger]

Hmmmmm...yep, that sure does look like some wild growing MJ..
Better keep an eye on it...it'll be ready by about Sept.

As for the tracks, I *think* what you have there is a doe with a
small fawn. Little ones have sharp edges to their hooves.

Nicely done on the Moon capture..

Plant stem is wrong for hooter. Clumpy stem growth without pruning too , it looks like ragweed.

Anywho , the two toenail marks could be fox ,but would be having trouble with footing . It is soft earth though.....
My first guess would be rabbit. They tend to have two toes forward. ( I wore dual scars awhile from a domestic.)

IF an elongated ,flat tapered towards rear( away from toe marks) track is behind those marks it is racoon.
Most wild canines have shorter nails than track shows. With a fox usually light on their feet leaving tracks that look more like a cat.
More of a track than pictured would be expected from a coyote on that soft soil.

Nice pics!

I had an expert from Josh Gates team analyze the pic its inconclusive but he would say there is a chance there is some prehistoric animal in the woods in Ohio.

The Track is the front foot of an Armadillo, most likely a 9 Banded, and the Plant is a Red Buckeye, hands down.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Yellow Buckeye. I had id on computer but I’m on phone and can’t see well enough. Either way all buckeyes are highly toxic. Best know your plant before you try and smoke it . 😂

there aren’t any armadillos in Ohio, well, unless it’s been relocated. We were thinking maybe a fawn but wasn’t sure.

It it took me 10-15 tries to get the moon.

thanks everyone. I need a smile or two!

I thought fawn behind mother for the track.

Super nice moon shot!

 

[DizzyDigger]

Never heard of a "Buckeye" plant, but if you were growing that
out here on the West Coast you'd want to put a sign on it identifying
it for what it really is. Otherwise, with those very MJ looking leaves
it's gonna get swiped.

I had thought about other critters for the track. Problem I have with
Armadillo is that they have short legs, and that's just a single track.
If a 'Dillo there should be other tracks very close, so whatever made it
had a longer stride.

Your gonna get hooked on running around with that camera.

Sorry, I didn't see all of this. I need a bigger phone or trifocals. Will look for more tracks.

Too late.

It's a tree. The Buckeye Tree ( Aesculus glabra) was made the state tree in 1953. The nuts are called buckeyes because their shape and color look like a deer's eye.


The one I photographed is of the same family. Here is the link and photo that I used to make the ID.
