Eliza Waters 
Quite a mix that is!
Yes, it was interesting to see the three animals using the same track. Must be a major route!
Yes!
Wow, you have a very keen eye, Eliza! ☺️
Thanks, John. Lots of neighbors!
Busy place!
Yes, indeed! 😀
This is fascinating, thank you Eliza!
Thank you, Anne. Tracking in snow makes it easy. Mud works, too. 🙂

Fortunately not all at once! And then the human came. Tracks are so fun to see.
Yes, indeed. Always amazing to see who lives around here.
Love this 👏🧡
🙂 Thanks, Karen!
This made me smile because I see similar prints on the beach from the various birds and dogs. 🙂
I love seeing tracks that tell us who has been by. 🙂
I see the turkey and deer, but where’s the coyote? I’m blind this morning!
It is the oldest track… probably from a day or two before… lower right, not as fresh as the deer and turkey. 😉
Makes an interesting abstract pattern. Neighbors recently reported coyote sightings here.
Coyotes are adapting well to human settlements. Time to keep the cats inside!
Looks like there was a party going on there! Love the heart-shaped patterns here and there. Spreading the love!
Interesting that you should mention that… the symbolism of deer is ‘unconditional love.’ ❤
Wow… How do you like that? 💕
🙂
A busy place. Watch out, turkeys! Just had a funny thought. In New England, it’s not Coyote and Roadrunner. Instead, Coyote and Turkey. 😉
And the turkeys are just as tough to catch! 😀
They certainly are!
gifts from our wild neighbors
Yes, indeed! A blessing. ❤
It is always fun to identify tracks in the snow.
Yes, it is fun to see who my wild neighbors are. 🙂
So cool. You’re like a tracker 😉😊😉
Thanks, Dee. 🙂 I love when we get fresh snow so I can get a take on who has been by. Every year I’m amazed!
Lovely!! You are very blessed to live so in tune with nature!!!!
Nature was my first best friend. I can count on her always! 🙂
1st best friend. Lovely Eliza!!!
This map is a reminder of how much is going on in the middle of the night while we are asleep.
IKR? I always enjoy seeing who frequents the area.
Oh boy — a party!! Great shot, Eliza!
Busy, busy! So lovely to see Eliza 💛
Yes, thanks, we have a nice array of wildlife here and the snow lets us know who they are. 🙂
A lovely way to track your wildlife visitors! My clues here are usually muddy footprints but, with limited rain, there are few of those.
Yes, fresh snow lets us know who are neighbors are. Lots of mice around, too! 🙂
Fascinating! Hope everyone was passing through at different times! 🙂
The turkey and deer were the freshest (I saw the flock moving off when I arrived), the coyote was probably from the night before. Good thing for the former!
Looks like a very busy intersection! 🙂
For sure! 🙂
Wildlife “finger” painting! Great capture, Eliza!
Ha, yes! Thanks, Tina. 🙂
Turkey trot! Love it ❣️
🙂 Thanks, Val. x
Love winter tracks, especially when I can identify them!🙂 Do you hear the coyotes or just see the tracks?
Yes, we can hear them, esp. if they are close by. They mostly stay up on the ridges and come down into the fields at night to hunt. It is very rare to see one in the daytime. They know humans are dangerous!
Those turkey tracks look jurassic! We mainly have an overabundance of rabbit tracks this winter, plus some coyote and fox.
They say birds are descended from dinosaurs, so there is some truth in that observation. 🙂 Tracking in winter is fun, isn’t it?
Fun, and a bit scary, sometimes!
The cassowary comes to mind… the ‘world’s most dangerous bird.’ 🙂
OMG – “dagger-like talons that can disembowel with one slash” – so glad I won’t run across up out here!
Real life velociraptors! Aren’t you glad we only have turkeys that run away from us? 😀
Quite the parade. 🙂
Yes! It is good to see so many neighbors out and about.
My kind of traffic 😊
Yes! So fun to see. 🙂
Another great positive about snow, makes for easier tracking 🙂
For sure, it adds interest and fun to a walk. 🙂
Tracking is an incredible pastime and how wonderful that you have used the snow to sharpen your skills, Eliza. Delightful post.
Thank you, Jet. We’re blessed with many animal companions!
Nice collection! I really like being able to see the tracks so clearly after a good snow. It gives me a better idea of who is around here.
Thank you, Robin. It is nice to see who are often-invisible neighbors are.
Nice Eliza! Enjoyed seeing your tracks image!
Thank you, Reed!
All the arrows point to wild animal tracks.
Yes, indeed! 🙂
Wow! Nature’s patterns are stunningly beautiful (and so is your capture, Eliza!)!
Thank you, Kim!
A very busy spot 🙂
Yes, like Grand Central! 🙂
You’ve become a real girl scout, what with your tracking skill.
Ha, yes, I guess you could say that!
This is a really fun pic!
Thanks, Julie. The snow is a great tracking tool!
That is busy! I love the deer heart print.
Thank you, Susan. Deer symbolize ‘unconditional love,’ so the print suits!
I’ll think of that now when I see one.
Do you think the Coyote was tracking the deer?
I doubt it as the coyote track looked to be the oldest. Coyotes usually hunt smaller prey, like rodents, but will take a very young or injured deer, not a healthy adult.
Were you a tracker in another life? Coyotes are so exotic to those if us who don’t have them – perhaps not so much for you.

I’ve always enjoyed tracking, seeing who comes by, mostly in the night when we are asleep. Today I saw fox, coyote and raccoon and squirrel tracks on my walk. Always fun to see!
Lovely ! You have taken beautifully 😊💕👌
Thank you, Priti!
You are most welcome 😊💕
Oh … I wonder if the coyote was tracking the turkeys.
It looked like it was the oldest, so probably not then. Turkeys are too savvy to be easy prey anyway. Rodents are easier to catch!
