More Animals Running Around

The day after writing the blog post about only seeing black squirrels out and about this winter, I saw a few more animals. The weather was sunny and warm... 


A sudden movement in the backyard hedge caught my eye. A long-tailed chipmunk came running along. 

Later a small red squirrel crossed our bare driveway. I missed photographing both the chipmunk and the red squirrel, as I wasn't ready - and they quickly disappeared ... 

Then, through the window - and screen - I saw a black squirrel with no tail coming across the road. I managed to snap a photo.


(I wonder what happened to the tail.)


 I also noticed large tracks in the snow on top of a garage roof - visible over the fence across the street.


I suspect they were made by a raccoon.

It's a busy world out there, now that the sun is out and the weather is warming up! I wonder if the fact that it's garbage pickup day is also bringing out the neighborhood animals.
