rlrich3Description
Found in silty mud, under about 1” of water. Mesial webbing more prominent between toes 3 & 4 than 1 & 2. Toes smoother sided with less bulbous pads than I’d expect in a turkey. Hallux is not prominent.

American Mink (Neogale vison)Observer
fourseasonforagingDescription
On large rock on lakeshore. The first two photos are of the same scat, which was found on the ground next to the rock. I put it on the rock to take photos and get a better look. The other scat was already on the rock.
Size about 3.5" long and 3/8" in diameter.

I'm guessing with fair certainty. Tracks came up the steps out of the pond and onto the dock.

Track length about 3.25" which is at the low range for great horned owl. Tracks seem less bulbous/robust than typical great horned owl tracks though. Barred owl maybe?
