The tracks were observed in dense wet sand substrate mid-morning after a rain. The track pattern was linear and appeared to be in an angled bound of sorts. Due to the sharpness of the claws and narrowness of the tracks I believe it to be a coyote.
Hawk or crow? I feel hawk because of toe 3 being more forward facing. When crows land, the overall pattern in inward facing. Hawks more forward facing.

I was excited to find these tracks, thinking some of them (the ones with small claw marks) were from a Gray Fox. But looking at the position of the toe pads and how the lower outer toe pads reach higher in relation to the inner toe pads, I think these tracks match domestic cat better than Gray Fox.
