Woke up this morning to a new skiff of
powdery snow. We went out first thing into the pristine wilderness
to do some tracking. The first tracks we came across were the
cottontails, the main food source for our other park animals. As we
hiked through the flocked pines we came across Red Fox tracks and
chose to see what he was up to in the early morning hours. The
tracks led us about a mile until we lost them in the deep snow in the
forest. The story from the tracks this morning told us that the fox
marked the trail numerous times to let us know who it belongs to, he chased a
rabbit to a rock formation hoping for breakfast (the rabbit did get
away), and frolicked in the snow looking for mice and voles. Upon
our return we took many pictures of the winter wonderland. The
layers of snow were like walking on a blanket of diamonds and the
slight breeze blew snowflakes from the trees like gold dust. Enjoy
your winter wonderland wherever it may be.
