Can any of my peeps educate me as to what's going on here? The tracks are made by a little shorebird I think it's called a killdeer or a Dipper? Not big on birds that I don't eat. It spends its days wandering back and forth two spots on my pond that were being kept open by the Muskrat and have since froze over. This morning I look out there and it's laying beside the one hole. Crouch down whatever you call it when a bird has its butt on the ground. And I thought oh crap it's croaked! So I go to take a look at it. make short little flights around makes a distinctive noise I think that makes it a killdeer? And then eventually it flies off to the lake half mile to the north of me. It seems to be okay just confused. If anybody knows I would sure like to know what the heck is going on. That and I'm editing and I'm bored out of my gourd. LOL
The roads were still crazy icy but we made it home.

Is it any wonder that a 27 pound cat can walk on top of 3 feet of powder snow? The first picture is the bottom of a lynx paw. I'm always amazed that the pads show in their tracks at all with all that fur. The second picture shows my hand (that is a 2xl glove on it) in between the front paws of a good lynx. The left paw is the top and the right paw shows the bottom.
