    | 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).  |
