More Rabbit Tracks

The rabbits were busy again last night. It looks like we have several rabbits in the area near our house.

I think the pattern made by the wind in the snow is neat.

Animal Tracks in the Snow

We took walks this morning and afternoon to take pictures of animal tracks in the freshly fallen snow. We were able to find tracks from rabbits, deer, cats, dogs, squirrels, and birds.

On the left is a picture of deer tracks going across the field. Followed by a close-up of a deer track.

Here is a paw print from the cat who has adopted us.

Gray squirrels live in the trees which surround our house. Here is a picture of what we think are their tracks. The tracks continue on the other side of the fence.

Here are two pictures of rabbit tracks. We saw several different places with rabbit tracks. One place clearly indicated that the rabbit was running fast, but that picture didn't come out well. Perhaps we can try again tomorrow after it stops snowing again.


Below are some bird tracks. The birds are very busy eating the seeds from the weeds. If you look closely, you can see seed remains on the snow.

Here is a picture of the wineberry vines covered with snow. Wineberries are similar to raspberries, but their vines are red and hairy with thorns. Wineberries ripen in July and make delicious pies.

We even found a tree that the rabbits have damaged by eating its bark. While not shown in the picture, rabbit tracks lead right up to the tree and go away in another direction. I think the same tree has damage higher up from white-tailed deer.
