And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Moved from the burbs to the country recently. Went from having all sorts of rats and rabbits in the yard to nothing. Plenty of owls prowling the night.
No the tracks are from a critter that didn’t get to walk away. Seems like a successful grab to me.

Nobody walked away, somebody flew away
