Exploring the explorer: predators in nature

Tracking on snowshoes reveals curious predator

Beautiful day for a snowshoe on  March 16, with snow still very deep despite the approach of spring...

Here my friend and I have discovered a sheltered piece of ground, evidently where creatures such as mice, voles and squirrels hang out for protection.

The pawprints of a curious coyote tell the story of what happened here. The carnivore has checked out this hiding spot more than once.
No blood. No fur. So perhaps sheltering critters have escaped... for now...
