We are participating in the Saturday PhotoHunt this weekend and the theme is - footprints. Therefore, on with our entry........
We looked through our recent photos for footprints, and this is what we found, taken last month:
These are technically 'hoof' prints. Best guess is, that these were made by a White Tailed Deer.
Next photo is:
......a complete mystery. Any guesses?
Now these next two photos are bonus photos of, not footprints, but teeth marks so not exactly part of PhotoHunt, but hope you might find them interesting anyway. These were taken the same day as the above 'footprints':
Look closely and you will see the marks of a beaver's teeth. This is how a beaver fells a tree, by gnawing on usually birch, aspen, or poplar! Their favorite part is the 'underbark' which they find tasty.
Here is another example:
The beaver uses the branches and trunk of the fallen tree to build a dam across a stream to create a pond to live in.
Beavers are protected where we live, and only under very specific conditions can anyone interfere with the dams they have built.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
