Hey Foxy!

If you know how to read it there is a whole story in the snow. Many animals I have only "seen" by the record they have left behind. I did see cougar tracks in the snow in the Rocky Mountains one winter. He passed by our cabin during the night and we never hear or saw a thing.

I imagine Stoats are hard to spot. We have Mink and weasels and they are always in a hurry.

Toronto is a very large city, but it has large parks, a few rivers and ravines and of course a lake shore that runs miles in either direction.
We have wildlife and it can travel by way of rivers, ravines and shorelines. I have looked out and seen a skunk walking down my city sidewalk. The racoons just live with us and are adapted to human presence. Squirrels treat us as food suppliers. They act like they are entitled to be fed by us. Pigeons use our subway stations as home bases and have been known to actually ride the trains. It does make life interesting.
