Last Saturday, an enthusiastic bunch of nature lovers including UW students, several adults, and a number of families with children headed outside to enjoy the fluffy, fresh snow and to look for "Critter Tracks".![]()

The kids took the lead and found lots of fresh tracks including deer, mouse, squirrel, bird, rabbit, fox, and coyote. Each set of tracks told a story about the critters that made them along secret passages that wove through clumps of snow covered prairie, crossed walking paths, detoured under bridges, and wandered through the woodlands as the mystery animals looked for food, found shelter, and met friends.![]()
