Can You Identify These Animal Tracks?

By Michael Salotti

Snow came a little early this year to central Virginia. It is unusual for us to get snow before Christmas, but maybe some will stick around until the 25th this time. I decided to take a walk through the woods of Pocahontas State Park this morning, and I snapped a couple pictures of various tracks I came across. Can you identify the animals that created them?
