We also found some frozen tracks in the area that look like they might be from a sandhill crane...large three toed tracks with the toes widely spread, almost a T.
I feel stupid...my wife figured out the bird track was just from a turkey.
She agreed with me that they looked WAY too big to be from a turkey, but she poked around online and the size was just right. It did sound truly weird that a crane would be hanging around us in the winter...we don't see turkeys all that much when it's cold, but they are around.
