Last weekend we finally got some snow. We got about two inches, but it was enough to see the animal tracks. I noticed some unusual tracks out on the frozen ice. The deer make a trail, so I knew it wasn't deer tracks. The small animals have their own distinct little tracks. I thought perhaps a dog had been walking around.

Every morning when I get up I scan the horizon to see what I can see. I was surprised. At first I didn't know what I was seeing. We have seen fox in the area so at first that is what I thought I saw. Then as I looked closer, it was too big for a fox. Maybe it was a wolf. It started coming closer, and it turned out to be a coyote. Thank goodness I don't have chickens or pet rabbits because they wouldn't have a chance with this animal. He stayed for quite a while and I was able to get some photos from our dining room window.

Later in the afternoon, he returned. It looked like he was nosing around the area where the beaver or the muskrats live. I didn't see him find anything and later saw him walking away. I don't know if he got separated from his pack or if there are more in the area. I love living where I do, you never know what you will see.
