Warner CrockerGood morning and a morning mystery. Not sure what animal or bird made these very uniform tracks through the back yard. #Photography #Today #Winter #Chicago
macattackmicmac@WarnerCrocker No experience in biology or knowledge of the local area, but my guess would be a lizard or similar reptile running on it's hind legs. They certainly are fascinating tracks.
@macattackmicmac Been too cold for most reptiles I think. Even so, we don't usually see many of those in these parts.
BetteTurtle? But in the winter?
Search for "turtle tracks" it checks out.
@Bette I did. Don''t think it lines up with the weather. Besides, the tracks just stop mysteriously, and start mysteriously, which made me think birds, but that doesn't check out either.
I guess a bird could check out if it was wounded and was dragging itself across the yard with its wings, then got scooped up by the predator who started the job. Maybe
Dreaming of bogwitchery@WarnerCrocker Bird doing a butt scoot?
Chancerubbage@WarnerCrocker I’m guessing bun rabbit if not birb. In either case it was a hopper and tail dragger.
Squirrel!
