Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | First moose, now birds! Eddie was acting particularly skittish on our walk today. He kept trying to go home. Usually that means he smells a moose, but there were no fresh tracks. I decided to cut the walk short and head home when I came upon this imprint in the snow. Believe me, both dogs went back on leash in a hurry!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | A bird. A BIG bird. See the imprint from the wings and the tail and the big hole where its talons hit the snow? Something swooped down and gobbled up something tiny.

| Oh wow!!! Really sad for the creature that got caught, but those tracks are very impressive. Excellent photo. I think you should enter it in a contest.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Thanks, you guys. I just went back and took another for perspective. 38 inches from wingtip to wingtip.

| What an incredible photo! Poor poor Eddie and Jack. Will they EVER be able to take a walk without moose and birdies? |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I think I'm going to rename our park Jurassic Park! When we went back to get a picture with Eddie in the frame, a startled moose sprinted through the middle of the park. I didn't think Eddie saw him, but he went ballistic. Poor guy. Now he's barking at the window again. Maybe I should just take him to doggie daycare!

| Wow...cool picture. That was some big bird! What do you think it was? An eagle? Hawk? |

If it wasn't a raven, my guess would be owl or hawk. Even at that size, it's too small for an eagle, I think.

| That is the most Quirkey, Amazing, Beautiful picture! You can clearly see it's a bird that landed in full. Just look at the individual impressions of the feathers! How often can ANY one see an impression in snow like that? You hit it on the nail with Jurassic Park! You have Terradactals & Mooseasurus! I bet the Audubon Society or a Bird Watcher club in your area would love to have those pictures! It's huge compared to Eddie! Think it could have been an Osprey? Eeeek! Keep your eyes on the sky! I do when I take my girls out. We have Hawks that's been known to swoop away small dogs.
