A few snow tracks

A light snow makes a great substrate for animal tracks. The first two photos are from turkey, third is a squirrel, and fourth is a mouse or other small rodent. Also saw but didn't photograph snowshoe hare. Snow tracks are a neat way to know these animals are around us and active in the cold even when we can't see them.
