Identify these tracks

[cgmblade]

We don't get a lot of snow here in Georgia, but got a little bit yesterday, and this morning I saw some bird tracks in the snow on my driveway. I was wondering if any of you folks could identify what critter made these tracks.

Thanks for your help.

Its definitely a bird, but its hard to reference their size, how long was each print? 1",2"?

Looks like Sparrow or finch..

 

[Pritch]

Definitely canine, since nail prints are clearly visible. . .

Sparrow.... house-sparrow to be exact... 1.5 yrs old.... female... just ate but stomach is not full yet... missing a feather from it's right wing... horney as hell, too.... the little minx.

Everyone is having fun with tracks in the snow.

Slacker. You missed that the right leg is .75 mm longer than the left. Probably a birth defect.

ugh......

I was thinking the same thing. He got all that yet forgot to mention the weight and direction she was heading.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

But African swallows are non-migratory.

We are the nights who say NI! Bring my my shrubbery!

It's either a quail, or something else. Could be Big Bird from Sesame Street, too ... I'm just not sure. It's not an elephant though. I'm pretty sure of that ... I think.

All I know is that it's feet were cold..

That sparrow was definitely a cougar.

Rrrrrowwwwwww.

 

[cgmblade]

I should have thought to include the size of the tracks. I took some more pictures but in these the tracks didn't show up as well. There appear to be three different sizes all together. Ranging from about 1.5" to 2".

I think Robin and Sparrow are both good guesses, thanks.

Here's another track I was able to identify myself. It's a re-shod Toyota Tacoma. Thanks for your help.

 

[dawsonbob]

Well, now that we see the size comparison with the ruler, I guess we can rule out Big Bird.

Too bad: that was my best guess.

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Lol, you know your british humour

 

[Watchful]

Redacted. I said sparrow, but the tracks with the ruler are a bit big. Also, there is the off-foot placement that this could be a robin. Robins don't always hop, and they hop differently from sparrows since they pause and "listen" with their feet.
