Though I saw some animal signs, they were tricky to distinguish from what species. I did not see any scat. I saw a couple different tracks, but they appeared as though they had been there for multiple days and were unclear. In the photo below, I can see what I think is a white-tailed deer track, and near it are a few tracks that look canine.

Since last visiting my site in November, there have been a number of changes. The most obvious of them is that there is snow on the ground. This meant that no leaf litter was visible. There were some pinecones on the ground, though. Another change is that now the deciduous trees are completely free from leaves. Finally, the stream was frozen over.
