With our spell of warm weather all sorts of critters have been out and about. These tracks were all seen on or near the path to work last week. Some I can recognize, others not. If you know who left a set of mystery tracks please leave a note in the comments so we'll know for next time.


These tracks remind me of rabbits but I think they may be from a squirrel based on some tracks near our house that lead to a known squirrel hideout. I'll have to keep a close watch on our back yard to learn for sure.


These are easy. Ptarmigan tracks are everywhere right now but I hardly ever see the birds themselves. I particularly liked this patch of tracks because it includes wing marks, though I don't know if they are from take-off or landing.


I wasn't the one who spotted these tiny tracks but once we'd found them we were able to follow them for a quite a while, crossing the path more than once and dipping into hollows in the snow.


When I took this picture I thought these tracks were the same as the other tiny ones above but looking at them now I think they are from someone else: the feet are paired differently and I'm pretty sure I can see a tail mark.
