Who Takes Pictures of Poop?



Well . . . believe it or not, I am not the only weirdo to capture the image of wildlife do-do.  It really is amazing, especially when you don't see the animals, to know, without question, you are not alone on the Island.  
These, by Roger's insistence, were taken with a quarter so we can have an idea of scat scale.
The images you see here are relatively small and full of berries (visual assessment only).  We deduced that the evidence was left by at least one healthy fox.  We saw many piles of proof, but no actual fox.  


No, we weren't just bored.  It was pretty exciting to know that we were treading the same path as wolves as we hiked to Lookout Louise on the Northeast tip of the Island.  I'm no connoisseur, but based on my experience of spring cleanup from my own dogs, I would guess this sample to be quite old.  By the way, yes, we did examine the contents.  Very furry, this sample.  Snowshoe Hare?  Possibly, but we didn't look that close.
