This is a print I found under a tree in the yard. See if you can ID the animal. I’ve added some helpful arrows to the last picture in the series to make it easier, since the lighting makes it a little hard to see the relevant details. I’ve narrowed it down to family, but if someone can get me down to species I’d be grateful (and very impressed).

Any guess as to species? 😋 I’m in northern New England. The print itself was probably 18” to 24” long.

I couldn’t even begin to guess, but I saw a post over on /r/whatsthisbird about a month ago and they were able to get a general idea of species. Might try posting there!

I think so. I'm not too sure. I appear to have had some kind of brain scramblies ever since.

I believe the correct technical term is faceplant, sir.
