Algonquin Winter Tracking
Algonquin Winter Tracking 2012
|
Monday (Day 3)
|
|
This day began with a short
visit to the end of the Bluff Lake portage. |
|
|
Back up the Opeongo Road (yes
it's one of my favorite places!). I found these tracks of
an indecisive otter on the frozen surface of a creek. It had
run towards the right, then abruptly turned around. |
|
|
On this spectacular sunny day
I climbed the high bluff overlooking Hermit Creek (where I
was exploring yesterday). In this photo the Hermit Creek
bog is visible below, on both sides of the snowy space. |
|
|
A view to the south. There
are pines up here, and a nice open area to eat lunch,
assuming it's a nice sunny day with little or no wind, like
today! |
|
|
An interesting pattern made by
the feet of a small bird as it foraged for food on a
snowbank. |
|
|
If you are a track
photographer, this is one to die for. It features the wing
prints (both wings) and tail feather fan of a raven as it
landed. |
|
|
Otters aren't the only animals
that like to slide. Mink will do it too. Here is the trail
of a mink that slid down an embankment in the forest, then
ran off towards the left. |
