Telling Snow Stories

While the best winter tracks to find at the Arboretum are River Otter, but every animal track you find tells a story and I often stop and wonder at the tracks in the snow. Tiny bird tracks, the marks of wings and bigger bird tracks - hmmm - I bet a bigger bird chased the smaller away. Of course, I never know what the real story is, it is nice just to ponder and wonder.
In this photo, an assortment of deer, rabbit and mice share a water hole in the stream. Are they all friends and did they stop to chat like in Thornton Burgess's Peter Rabbit stories?
