Default Wild Turkey Snow Angel

Eight years ago, while mushing about in some deep February snow, I flushed a small flock of turkeys. One bird left a particularly nice trail on departure:

It had to clear a stone wall and there (to the right) you can see the imprint of three or four wingtip feathers and also where it dragged a foot:

The second photo reminds me of the Antanov 225 taking off from BDL, and clearing the perimeter fence by a foot.
