Always fun to see these on dryish south facing slopes. You have to step carefully as all sorts of plants are just emerging.

Sagebrush Buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus)Observer
kaitlinDescription
For me, this is a common finding in Feb if it's warm enough for the snowpack to melt out in patches. There were many.

Ok, tough pic, no size references, but maybe somebody can suggest what animal made the s shaped track from bush to water. I post this out of curiosity, not expecting a research grade id. Sizing looked right for raccoon perhaps? Fresh snow showed no other tracks. Too big for mink.
