Track identification - help!

[Duck Hill]

The following predators have walked through my fenced yard - even though I have a dog on guard! Anyone know what they are?


The first, above, has long fingers. Second photo has my fingertip for size reference.
Raccoon or possum or???



This second print is TOO SMALL to be my own dog. And I have a tall property fence. There was only that one print.

I'd really like to figure this out BEFORE any of my ducks go missing!

Bottom does look like a dog..the top looks like a raccoon or opossum too, to me.

Can't see greet on my cell but could be coon or possum. The other possible coyote. Ivr heard of the scaling 6ft fences. Let's see what others say though because I cant see them good

Dog seems really unlikely because the fences around my backyard are tall and well maintained (there is no hole through which a neighbor dog could have entered). The "canine" track is within 2' of a 6' fence and facing directly away from the fence. This seems to be close to the fence for a coyote who would be somewhat large. Could it be a fox?

Fox sounds good!
I honestly am not familiar with "foot prints" but I will have my boy scout look at them in the morning and see if he can offer his 2 cents?

I can't tell on my cell. Is there claw marks?

First two pics are of a coon. Second set of prints look like a cat (no claw marks) to me.

I agree with .no claw marks it's a cat from what I can tell.

Top print looks like a coon and the lower print may be either a red or a gray fox.

Thank you for all your opinions. My dog always gets off lightly when she misbehaves, because I know that I depend on her at night!!! I'm not certain my coop could withstand a determined raccoon or fox on its own. I will have to strengthen it. For now, Biscuit keeps these two predators away from the duck coop - she sleeps in back of it. I have thought about bringing her in on alternate nights, but for now she will continue to be an outdoor dog!
