This photo is a close up picture which shows signs of an animal. The photo which I uploaded was taken in the woodlands of the Stone Valley Trail in Colton, New York. Stone Valley trail is an Adirondack trail which is full of a variety of different species of animals and tree which looks over a beautiful lake. The picture I took shows evidence of a Woodpecker on this specific tree. The evidence is shown from the large holes made in the wood of the tree. What made this picture so interesting to me is that these species truly do make their homes here. There is evidence all around this area of tracks, and different signs of animals which call the Stone Valley Adirondack park their home.
