hah, funny... the sky had a light inversion last nite - so at 4-5am ish... i went for walks. found a lot of crisp fresh tracks in the new light dusting of snow.
we have a fox. a very busy fox, single register tracks, very precise and delicate. unlike a cat in most ways.
there were also tracks like this:
O O O O O O
O O O O O O
which is to say, front and rear pads close together along each side of travel. will have to look that up. a bit small than a fox would make. i'm going for skunk or something of that size.
i think i also found squirrel, something completely weird, and maybe coyote? something with very big paws in a dog pattern, i think. the paw prints were ginormous and wandered from sidwalk to road to muddy pools to woods. no people tracks near it.
somewhere around here i have a laminate card with common track patterns. will have to find that.
