Tuesday's and now Thursday's light fluffy snow makes tracking animals very easy.
You can find deer and
squirrel tracks everywhere on Libby Hill. If go down to
Thayer brook on the Harold Libbey Trail you will also see lots of
coyote tracks (see photo on right). Some tracks also had good imprints of the claws as well. Of interest if you follow the tracks, is that the coyote actually went out on the ice and onto the top of the beaver house (don't try this yourself since the ice is thin). Coyotes do prey on beavers but
beavers tend to stay in their houses eating the bark they stored there. There are lots of stories to be read in the snow, take the time to see how diverse the userrs of Libby Hill are!
