Oh, and yes, raccoon for sure. They're the only ones with the front paws that look like a human hand.

actually, oppossums have that hand too. but their hind paws leave a track with a really obvious opposable thumb that sticks out way to the side. so i concur that it's a racoon track.

and yeah, brown pelicans. such a great comeback story.

beautiful place, stef!

I guess it does look hand-like, but I hadn't seen it as one before. For some reason, raccoon tracks remind me much more of a hand, even with the less obvious thumb.

(Opossums are non-native here, but common.)
