Name this animal!!


Being the city girl that I am, I am no use to my children identifying these tracks. We tried a google search but nothing seem to fit. Can you help us???

  1. looks like some large bird - how big was the track? Maybe chicken (I have backyard chickens)? Magpie?

  2. I'm guessing a crow?

    We froze our toes off at park day today, but Theo remembered this was the park he met your boys at for the first time, just about a year ago.

  4. My guess is a pheasant. We live in the Pacific Northwest and find these often. Google "pheasant tracks" under images and you will see many of the same tracks, some in snow just like yours. Hope that helps!

  5. I'm thinking wild turkey. Those tracks look very similiar to the wild turkey tracks we find all over in Arkansas.
