Pile of Feathers

[BeccaV]

I noticed this morning I was missing a Pekin. I went looking in the woods and all I found was a pile of white feathers. No blood, no bones. There was a pile of scat next to it that I'm trying to ID. It appears to have persimmon seeds in it.
What animal would leave only a pile of feathers?

Can you post pictures of the scat? That will definitely help the experts her to identify the duck-killer.

Could be a fox. If you have a game camera, put it up because the predator will return usually once they have made a kill then you will know for sure what you are dealing with.

Anything big enough to carry away the rest... Fox, coyote, wolf, bobcat, mountain lion, other (depending where in the world you are)

I am in South Louisiana next to a cane field.

We have a lot of coyotes here and yesterday I noticed some scat with persimmon seeds in it too. Our neighbor has some trees. I think mine was from a coyote. I see coyotes most nights on at least one of my game cameras.

Thank you. It could definitely be a coyote.
