Tracks

We had a huge wind event here yesterday.  It howled all day, shut the canyon down and made life miserable for everyone.  Today the sun came out, the wind quit and the landscape was untouched.  I like these kind of days because I can go out and see what kind of animals are roaming about.  As I took Maggie for a run through Shundahai this afternoon I looked at the untouched snow.  There were few tracks, nothing had been moving.  The first set of track that I saw were familiar.  The wild turkeys were on the move.

I expected to see some deer or moose tracks but there were none to be seen.. I did see some tracks that indicate that spring is on the way.  Apparently a pine squirrel had come out of hibernation and made a foray to see what was around to eat.  Nothing, so it went back to the nest.

You know animals are sometimes hard to see but they leave their ttraces everywhere.  Come on spring.
