There is usually a lot of nightlife activity that goes on around here after dark, that we don’t know anything about. One of the interesting things about snow, is that it can give you a clue about who had come for a visit. The photo above shows the track of a Timber Wolf that had ventured around our place. Usually the animal tracks I come upon, are not as exotic a wolf; normally they belong to more common critters.
The thing that got me going on animal tracks was finding the tracks of our neighbor’s cat, who likes to live its life outside. On my many trips walking around our pond I have many times noticed that the cat seems to have a regular nighttime circuit that includes the path circling my pond. The cat heads up by behind my greenhouse, across the yard, and then makes a beeline for my barn. The cat seems to make this circuit several times a week.
Immediately below is a trail left by a Field Mouse and at the very bottom, tracks of a Snowshoe Hare.
