A Big-Footed Bird?

I like to check the back of the house in the morning even when it rains. There's always something crawling around. This morning there were two small birds running around. They looked a lot like sandpipers. But look at this!




It looks like something jumped our fence and made tracks through the field. It ended up in that clump of plants. There are rose bushes on our fence right there so it wasn't a good place to go over. Whatever it was didn't make a bee line for the clump. It must have been a sore-footed whatever or a big-footed bird jumping around. See how the tracks veer off to the right and then back? Never seen anything like it. Any idea what is was?

P.S. I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that we have bats flying around at night that help keep the mosquito population down.
