Squirrel tracks around the Sanctuary sign pillar
Deer track amongst the boot tracks
Snowshoe tracks. We rent snowshoes, if you've ever wanted to give it a try.
Like humans, when one deer makes a trail the rest tend to use it instead of making a new one. Deer aren't the only things that use deer trails -- they can be a good place to look for other tracks.
The tracks are a little melted out, but you can still see the loop this mouse or vole took around the deer tracks.
The frozen Gaetz Lakes become highways for all sorts of animals.

If you have photos of any local winter animal goings-on that you'd like me to post here on the blog, feel free to e-mail them to us here at the Nature Centre (general@waskasoopark.ca). Let us know who you are so we can properly credit the photo, and tell us a little bit about where the shot was taken.
