Young Skunk with Ear Tag ID
Photo of a skunk with an ear tag ID. Scientists from the USGS Western Ecological Research Center are studying the movements of skunks and raccoons within Suisun Marsh, CA to understand how they navigate the marsh to reach waterfowl nests. Results will inform the management of waterfowl populations within the Central Valley, CA.

USGS Wildlife Biologist Takes Skunk's Measurements
USGS scientist takes the measurements of a young, blindfolded skunk in Suisun Marsh, CA. The USGS is studying the movement patterns of skunks and raccoons in Suisun Marsh, CA to learn how they use different landscape features, like levee roads, to navigate to waterfowl nests.
