OK...so they are not really footprints but actually paw prints but you have to admit, they do look like footprints.
I put out a bowl of food each night for the feral cats and other critters because I found that if they have something to eat each night, they tend to leave the birds alone during the day. Seems like a fair trade to me, besides everything needs to eat especially in the winter.
Anyway, I found these prints next to the dog dish. My first thought was human prints but didn't think this was even a remote possibility. I took me a few minutes of research to find out what had left these. I have to admit I have seen may of the critters around but guess I've never seen their tracks and frankly, didn't expect to see them now that's it's cold with some snow on the ground.
The prints are from the hind paws of a raccoon. Based on the size, I would say that is probably a pretty good sized one at that.

I would not want to accidentally cross that raccoon in the night!
