Winter Tracks at Prairie Loft
Take a look in your yard, in parks... wherever there’s snow and open space. You’ll find all kinds of signs that tell stories.
Similar tracks going several directions? Must be food supply or a den nearby. Tracks that end where wing prints appear? Either the tracks were of a bird taking off, or maybe one swooped down to catch lunch.
