I was walking my dog after a snowfall, and I saw these tracks in the snow. They're palm-sized. What the hell kind of creature created these tracks?
 I live in Aurora, Colorado, just outside of Denver. Are these turkey tracks? if so, where're the back toes? Could they be geese or something? |

Hard to get a perspective but it could be turkey or sandhill crane.

Do you have any size comparison for us? Looks like a wild turkey.

Those would be from a midget flying Yeti, if my eyes are correct.

Where theres tracks theres usually poop . Any droppings around? Odds are its just sasquash.

Stupid things are everywhere around where I live.
Their tracks look just like that. Unless my dog chases them, then they are farther apart, as they run to the ponds. The poop should be about the size of your pinkie, and kinda rough and fibery looking.  GOOSE TRACKS

Those are 100% Raccoon tracks. Seen them all the time. Had a family living by the AMR hanger at O'Hare. Geese do not leave tracks t with heir toes mark that deep.

Its deffinatly a bird of some sort because the foot prints alternate there not side by side.

Could have gotten better pictures and something on the ground to help with scale.
I would have to agree with Racoon or maybe 'Possum... LB |

Ah. The rare 3-toed raccoon. I'd love to see one of those, but alas, sasquatch has used almost all of them up to make his fur caps. |

raccoon tracks - nope. (possum look similar)

Definately a bird. Likely a grouse, pheasant, buzzard, or crow.
I'd just set up some claymores on a tripwire and see what you git.  Sua Sponte |

Turkeys walk with their feet pointing straight ahead. Geese waddle with their feed pointing inward. |

Do you own geese? I do, so I call bullshit. Those look exactly like the tracks my flock of Toulouse geese leave in snow. |

Raccoon tracks that are palm sized? They are most definately NOT coon tracks.

+1 on the geese if you look close you can see the webbing between the toes

Looks like Goose Tracks to me, webbed feet , too far apart for a duck.

I don' see no steenkeen webbin' so my vote goes for turkey.
If there is indeed webbing in there somewhere, my vote goes for goose. |

Guys, it's not a turkey. Turkeys walk like chickens, feet pointing forward. Not like those in the picture, toe-in like the creature was waddling. Plus, if you look closely, the webbing between the toes. It's a goose.

if it were a goose there should be about a thousand of the prints they don't enjoy going off on there own. theres a ton of them around here who didn't decide to go too far south. bunch of noisy baggage if you are asking me.

I'm buying geese as the answer for $400, Chuck.
We've got lots of them around here; wild turkeys I haven't seen. Peacock's a possibility, too - those things are thick as thieves at the Denver Zoo. |

Either Crow or Grouse given the 3 front 1 rear in the print.

A really small, skinny midget made snow angels. That's it in a nut shell.
