Animal Tracks

We had some snow accumulation last night, so we decided to go out and play and explore in our backyard.  We found some squirrel tracks on our play structure on the ramp and on the beams. It was interesting to see where the squirrel went and count his toes.    

This is a close-up of the prints we found.

Here are some prints on the beam of our monkey bars.

Isabella compared them to her own hand.

We also checked out the inside of our bird house.  Most times we check we can see evidence of more than one type of nest built on top of each other.  This time it looked like just one nest, although we found feathers from different types of birds inside.
Isabella drew this paw print in her nature journal.
