Winter Critter Identification

I happen to be one of the rare individuals who embraces winter.  The cold doesn't particularly bother me as long as I'm dressed for the conditions (and not fighting for survival).  The night skies are clear and sharp and offer the most excellent opportunities to engage in amateur astronomy - and on occasion the northern lights pay a visit to my latitude.  There are no mosquitos or sociopath yellow jacket wasps.  And there is evidence of the animals on the landscape - namely their tracks that are easily found in the snow.  And it's not like you have to travel far at all as long as you are observant.

Just for fun I've posted a handful of photos of animal tracks found in the yard immediately adjacent to the house.  See if you can match them with the animals listed below.
