Tracking quiz! What critter left this five-fingered print in the snow?

It was an opossum! I'm glad it left that paw print, because I would have had a hard time identifying this collection of tracks otherwise.

A coworker found what she took to be a den in a pile of broken concrete blocks. We were thinking about foxes, and she wondered if this den might be where a fox was hiding during the day. I got real close, saw what looked like a furry paw inside, and took a flash picture:

That mystery solved, I headed back out to the public area, and found this pair hanging around by the play structure.

I knew that was opossum, we had those prints all over the back porch. We have a night motion sensor camera set up and caught him on camera.

So that's what a possum print looks like. I had something furry running around the yard, besides the half dozen squirrels that raid the bird feeder.
