As winter deepens and the cold winds blow, you might think all the creatures have fled to warmer climates until spring. In reality, there are plenty of wildlife visitors. Be on the lookout for these species and their signs this winter...." "Winter Wildlife ID Tips Check for these signs of wildlife in your backyard. TRACKS. Look for footsteps in the snow or mud. Snap a picture and use a track field guide or website to help identify them. CHEW OR BITE MARKS. Deer, rabbits, beaver and other wildlife each leave distinctive bite marks on the plants they eat. SOUNDS. Learn the songs, calls or yelps made by songbirds, owls and even mammals like foxes to help you figure out what’s nearby." My notes: Do you pay attention to what your area has? I see several tracks on our acreage. Sometimes it's hard figuring out what they are.

Do you pay attention to what your area has? Not really. No one can see our backyard so they can do what they want there. And as long as their not digging into our flower beds in front, I pretty much don't bother with them. 'Them' being rabbits and squirrels. We don't get much wildlife during the winter.

I see rabbit and squirrel tracks along with the obvious cat/dog ones. On the outskirts where new subdivisions are built you might see coyote, deer and a few others.
