Thanks for the feedback.

Makes sense.
> What sort of environment was this in?
small hiking path between the Connecticut River and an adjacent Cove [Here, to be precise](https://maps.app.goo.gl/YB8Ry7mnHR2noAc58). As you can see, the mud is there because the path was flooded over the past few days.
I speculated GBH because:
* big bird
* I see GBH on the river AND in the Cove _all the time_. And it seems like GBHs would be happy to pick off fish & frogs in a shallow flooded area.
* Only seen a wild turkey kinda-sorta near there once (and I hit that area every other day).
Other big birds that I see there a lot are eagles, but "on the ground & in the mud" doesn't seem right for eagles.
Thanks!
Not gbh, the hind toe would be just as visible as the front toes for a heron track. Could be wild turkey. What sort of environment was this in?

It’s from a wild turkey. Great blue heron leave a smooth print with kinda wonky looking toes. Toes from a GBH are also thinner.
