http://penelopedia.blogspot.com/2009/01/animal-tracks-in-snow.html
Penelopedia: Nature and Garden in Southern Minnesota. The Bookcase that Became a Blog. Rice County Bird List. Sunday, January 25, 2009. Animal Tracks in Snow. This morning I tried to identify some of the tracks in the snow just outside my front door near my bird feeders and a small sheltering evergreen. If you have any experience in this area, please consider this a request for your expertise. The narrow trail at the left suggests perhaps a mouse - a snaking trail with little indentations within it.

Posted by Penelope Hillemann. I've never heard of them called "clocks", but I too have noticed they can be quite striking when the light is right.

I don't think I've ever seen them just sitting on the ground like that before.

The first two photos here were taken through the window and reflect the pinkish light of the rising sun. Posted by Penelope Hillemann.

Penelopedia: Nature and Garden in Southern Minnesota: Why I'm a Birder: Loving the Places They've Brought Me
http://penelopedia.blogspot.com/2015/02/loving-the-places-they-brought-me.html
Penelopedia: Nature and Garden in Southern Minnesota. The Bookcase that Became a Blog. Rice County Bird List. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Why I'm a Birder: Loving the Places They've Brought Me. I've finally been reading The Big Year. By Mark Obmascik. It's the story of three obsessive birders and their race to see the most species in North America in a year. The book inspired the Steve Martin/Jack Black/Owen Wilson film of the same name. He loved the birds, but he really loved the places they brought him.
