We (formerly Nashaway Trackers) are a group of loosely connected nature lovers who enjoy sharing our observations and discoveries about the fauna and flora of the northeastern US. Most of us are especially interested in mammal tracks and sign, but we also post about birds, insects, plants, etc.
These are beautiful pictures, but I can't say for sure what made those marks without measurements. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about birds can help. Wendy?
ReplyDeleteWhen photographing feather marks, it's helpful to take a photo showing size of foot and orientation of toes, as well. From what is shown, I cannot even say raptor for sure -- why not a crow? Maybe it's possible to rule those out, and I just don't know how.
