Quiz #40 - Question
Photos and text by Walter Muma |
|
|
Here's a potentially tricky quiz, although
some of you may get it right away! |
|
There's just a few photos to show you.
Time of year: February in Algonquin Park, in mid-northern Ontario.
As you can see this area is well visited. |
|
|
In the same area, going sideways down
(or coming up) a steep slope. |
|
|
More, on the level. |
|
Additional clues:
- This area is right near a remote parking lot.
- Only a few people come here each day in the winter, mainly to feed
the birds and see if any wild animals are around.
|
|
Questions:
- What the heck made those crazy straight-ish lines across the snow in
each picture?
- Bonus: What kind of bird tracks do you see here?
(Warning - I did not actually see any of these tracks or marks being made
except the bird tracks. So my conclusions - as will be seen in the
Quiz Answer - are based on analysis, inference
and gut feel). |
