[Maine-birds] Snow impressions

What do you think happened in our backyard in Cumberland County? Noticed these impressions in the snow late this morning. Near the larger imprint are several smaller impressions of just one wing, in a linear pattern as though the bird was moving, but not a drag pattern. Maybe jumping up and landing? The larger imprint is definitely a raptor. No blood or feathers. Guessing a hawk or owl tried to nab a blue jay based on the size of the wing imprints. Ideas?
