Plz help identify tracks

[NHMountainMan]

To me they look like front paw prints. The hind foot has a more distinguishable 'thumb'.

Agreed - that why I asked it they were the same tracks in snow / mud. Snow clearly was mustelid.

Not an expert, but I believe racoons have opposable thumbs, but I don't see that in any of the tracks. Also, minks are a bit smaller than racoons. I hope your coop and run is secure so it's not a problem. Good luck.

Thank you!

Are they the same track in the snow and mud? Snow can be tough with melt and drift. The snow track looks like weasel or mink - a size reference might help.

Thanks for pointing out, unfortunately they do look like two different tracks- both around the coop The snow has melted the snow tracks away, but they were a little smaller. Here is a size ref for the mud tracks- the red circles are showing them in same area as small deer track.

The photo 7ED looks more like a raccoon to me.

with the new pics and size ref - I think raccoon in the mud, and mink / weasel in the snow

Thank you- time to check the hatches for battening.
