I looked out the window to see how much, if any, suet remained in the feeder that neighbors, Curt and Meghan gave us at Christmas time. It is nearly gone.
Then I looked at the tracks on the ground. Whoa! I did a double take. Is that a deer track? From my vantage point it looked like it could be. I retrieved the camera from the office, donned coat, hat, gloves and headed out the door.
I scanned the ground for more evidence as I approached the print in question. It is large. I laid my glove beside it and got this pic.
It was not made by a white tail. A cotton tail is responsible for this one. Oh well.
At least I got some fresh air and a frosty nose. Also took care of a couple of other little matters. Maybe next time . . .
I love winter for all of the tracks. We have plenty around the pond’s water opening–everyone comes for fresh water.
It is a lot of fun to identify the many tracks left in the snow.
I have mushrooms, and you have wabbit.
But I can’t have snow.
Rabbits thrive in the snow, but mushrooms don’t.
all the critters love a feeder- I have my squirrel(s), you have a wabbit
I’ll have a mystery track for you tomorrow. Perhaps you can help me with that one. I’m obviously not good at identifying tracks.
