Just got back from The Balsams in Dixville Notch NH. I'm VERY new to this blog/site so I have no clue what kind of animal made this pile but was wondering if it was bear or moose maybe? Never saw either one but we did get treated to a fox sighting while my husband was playing golf
Love the fox photo. I would guess the scat came out of a moose who had eaten rich vegetation. That makes the pellets wet and globby, unlike the dry, separate pellets moose produce during winter, when feeding on twigs.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it can be hard to distinguish bear scat from spring/summer moose scat. In this case, I think I see pellets, so I would go with moose.
The fox was beautiful.. this was on a hot day around 3pm or so.
ReplyDeleteWasn't sure if those were berries or what in the scat. Used my sneaker for size comparison.
