Making tracks

One of the things I love about snow in the yard are the signs the wildlife leave behind.

Bird tracks are absolutely adorable to me! And they are ALL OVER the driveway – not just under the feeder. Those little sparrows and finches really get around. There are bigger tracks from the jays, but they are mostly around Squirrelingtons, and there aren’t as many. They don’t touch the ground very often.

And of course, there are squirrel tracks. I just love their tiny little toe prints.

I haven’t seen any raccoon prints (though we do have one around), but I have seen the possum trail. I could tell it was the possum by the line of his tail dragging in the snow. Sadly I did not get a picture. We got more snow and he’s wandered off elsewhere.

The other main track in the yard is, of course…

…Furby. (He does walk in the snow if he has to). There are lots of cat tracks through the yard – we have a couple regular strays, plus neighbour cat Fryburger. But you can tell Furby’s track by the size. That boy has MASSIVE paws!

Any cool tracks in your snow?
