Lots of raccoon tracks up and down various banks of Buck Creek and other little tiny tributaries that cut under the paths. In some of the wider shots I believe I also see fox squirrel and maybe faint heron tracks, similar to what we saw the previous day near Richmond. (also human shoe prints and I think a couple domestic dog prints) I was looking for something cooler/more “exotic” (skunk, mink, etc). In the past we’ve seen whitetail deer hoof prints here. I maybe found an otter track in a different muddy area, posting it separately.

I think there MAY be a track from an otter down on the opposite bank of that little trickle that flows into Buck Creek? Hoping @beartracker or another expert has time to chime in whether they agree, or whether it’s just a squashed raccoon print? Looks like human(s) and dog(s) also left the actual path and went down there, but it was muddy enough that my sister and I did not go closer ourselves.

update: forgot I also saw these at a different little muddy area nearby: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/207317055

An overnight snowfall preserves the foot tracks of a raccoon in my driveway before it entered my side yard. On the previous morning, a coyote had trotted passed my house (perhaps looking for this raccoon).
