Found alone about 20 feet from pond edge, in soft mud. If it was an otter scat, there would be more liquid binding, there would likely be several pieces, and there would be tracks/drags around it. GBH is the only bird that regularly eats crayfish and could produce a pellet of this size.
On Oregon Dunes Day Use Area. Ruler is 8.5 cm. Tracks always appear larger in sand.
These are all from the same animal, just taken at different points along the track.
We wondered if it was raccoon (and iNat is suggesting that as well), but none of us were sure.
Hoping for ID help. Smallest (least degraded tracks) appeared to be about 10 cm in length (in soft sand). I forgot to measure width. Stride shot with ruler...only had the 8.5 cm ruler with us today so tried to place in center of stride. Appears to have claw/nail markings.
River Otter tracks-- feet and tail dragged down the center-- on the beach. I'd never seen this before, but we found three like this in the sand during a minus tide.
Vole girdling / feeding on sapling sign paired with scat / latrine.
Several birds in a fine mud patch. With coyote and American robin. The last photo shows a likely landing spot, with paired feet and some double registering claws and hallux from shifting weight in the slick substrate.
Hind foot track
River otter tracks
Watched them in the nest all season, and then the tree came down. Note tying down of Big Leaf Maple flower stalks and use of plastic tarp strands.
Not sure on that one. Bones look like rodents jaw bones... squirrels? Last pictures shows some white droppings found in the same area.
About 2-2.5 inches from top to bottom of track, no claw marks in track. Followed tracks along trail for a bit before it continued off trail into the woods.
We were the first people along this trail that day, so we were the only set of human feet prints, so less likely it’s just a dog.
Scat
Size possibly woodrat
Looking for good explanations of cat vs dog. Print size is 2+ inches in width.
See 2nd picture for close up.
