The neighbors

I was walking back along the trail from my river shop today and...

A great thing about this time of year and a fresh snowfall, one can check out the neighbors foot prints and see what they've been up to!

The fox came across the rabbit's trail, followed it for a while and then wandered off.

The ermine was just in a hurry to get off the trail and back in the brush.

The squirrel was going from tree to tree double checking his winter food stores.

By the way: The tracks are more visible if you view this against black
