Thanks to all who guessed! Those FEET belong to the white-tailed deer!! Working with @nysdec, we do a lot of disease & health surveillance on the deer populations of NYS, helping keep deer healthy & NYS CWD free!

It's Friday, FOOT Friday that is!! You can learn a lot about an animal's health by examining its feet (or hooves in this case)! This is sort of a freebie, but who do these feet belong to? #wildlife -

Whoooo who who did you guess those feet belonged to?!!? Great horned owl, that's whoooo! Did you know that the wingspan of a great horned owl can be over 55 inches!?! That's almost 5ft! This nocturnal predator is fast and stealthy and are great at controlling of rodent populations, which puts them at greater risk of rodenticide poisoning. Think twice before using rodenticides! #birdnerd #wildlifehealth #wildliferesearch #ibirdny #cornellvet
