Trackers, anyone?

Hey everyone. Seems like all I do on this blog is ask YOU questions :) Just got back from a quick trip to the lab and took some pictures of a track that I hadn't seen before. Wolf, hare and fox are pretty easy to distinguish, but these ones threw Larry and I off.They're only about an inch and a half wide, and meander pretty randomly, so we're thinking rodent of some sort. I picked lemming, Larry says that there are moles up here, and I have another opinion from James that it may be a weasel.

It was also the coldest day that I've been outside so far: -42.1°C. And no Mom, those are not my running shoes, those are my hiking boots, which are quiet toasty at -30...and compared to the arctic boots, you can actually walk in them!

Big post about work this weekend,
Graham
