Animal evidence







We did a little exploring in a neighbor's pine forest yesterday. Don't worry -all aboveboard - he's said he does snowshoeing there and we're welcome. The rumor was that elk were hanging out there. Alas, no sighting of elk but lots of elk scat and tracks. Either elk or deer were very busy scratching antlers on tree trunks. There were lots of marked trees.



This morning we awoke to a half an inch of snow on the ground. Not much, but the most we've had so far. When we walked through the woods there were various animal tracks. I think these are elk - there was a moment when we thought possibly bear...



Our rodent problem is not solved. Every other day there is a dusting on the living room floor of chewed insulation in the same line. Not sure why the activity isn't consistent, but we'll just have to wait and see if it finds its way to the bait.
