Animal Tracks in the Snow in Western Maine

A few of these tracks in the snow are from animals that have come into the property near the house, while other tracks are from deeper in the woods. We live close to several snowmobile trails as well and there are always fresh animal tracks to be seen in these areas. The following photographs were taken while I had been animal tracking on the property and from various days hiking in the snow during the winter in Maine.
