Predator Scat ID

[katiebrock]

I lost a duck last night, and I found this. Any ideas on who the culprit was?

I would guess fox. Coon or even coyote scat can be similar, but coyote should be more, and coons generally do not defecate after eating - fox do.

The fox poo I see is much more like cat. They poop on my driveway. Looks more like coon to me.

I found another pile that is shaped more like cat poop and it has the same seeds in it and is near the duck house, so I am thinking fox. Plus, I have seen foxes in our yard before we had ducks, and heard them, but I have never seen coons. Thanks for your help! Time to build a duck fortress!
