Bird tracks in snow are not fossils, because snow melts and gets covered up by more snow, and so the bird that made them is probably still alive. (If it died shortly after and the tracks were still there, then they might be considered a trace fossil. ;))

Why are transitional important?

Transitional fossils are important because they are visual evidence of one type of animal evolving into another type of animal. A transitional fossil always contains features of one type and features of another. For example, Archaeopteryx is a transitional fossil that is a cross between a dinosaur and a bird. It has a bony tail, teeth, and claws like a dinosaur, but it has feathers and is able to fly like a bird. It is an important link in the evolution from dinosaurs to birds.
