More Snow Prints

I know these photos are very blue. They were taken at twilight and, well, it was blue!
I love seeing rabbit prints in the snow. We have quite a few wild rabbits around here, plus an escaped domestic "yard rabbit". To me, rabbit prints look like little rabbit faces with big ol' ears.

Frequently the front feet hit separately so the rabbit face is kind of messed up. But they're still very rabbity looking prints.

This rabbit went and hung out under the tractor for a while. Walking outside in the mornings and seeing all the goings-on from the night before is a bit like reading a book. You get to see little sub-plots unfolding all around.

This is a deer track. They have split hooves. The deer frequently cross the creek between the house and the chicken house, so I see them or their prints a lot in the mornings.

Leslie, I would like permission to use your photo of rabbit tracks in snow (http://gardenplotter.com/rospo/blog/uploaded_images/SnowRabbitPrintTractor-718288.jpg) in an educational article about animal tracks for the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center (LREC) Community Newsletter. This newsletter is emailed to LREC volunteers, board members, and participating teachers. It is also archived online (http://www.litzsinger.org/newsletters.html). I would, of course, credit the photo however you wish. Please respond to jennifer.krause@mobot.org.

Thank you!
