More winter wonders

[urbpan]

Raccoon and squirrel tracks on the snow on the ice on the pond in the deer enclosure.



The evening before I dumped out the turtle sandbox we use for the goose pool and left it upside-down and empty (in warmer weather, we refill the pool the day before to save time in the morning). When I turned it over in the morning to refill it, I involuntarily uttered OH MY GOD.



The very small amount of water in the overturned pool froze (crystallized?) in these patterns.

I believe the pic at the top the tracks are Mink on the left and squirrel on the right. It is possible the tracks on the left are long tailed weasel but they appear to be mink.
