DANGER!: Coyote scat contains a VERY dangerous spore or microbe that can enter via mucous membranes (nostrils). NEVER pick apart coyote scat (to determine their diet, etc.) with any proximity to your unprotected face.

note the hair and bone bits, carnivorous geese lolGeese would be my guess! We have a Sh!t Load of them down here right now, and they must be practicing carpet bombing for the Royal Canadian Air Force, as they have left entire fields looking like that, and this isn't your average fly over pooping, this is a full blown scorched earth air ASSault!

As noted, Bobcats are even more habitual than Coyotes, and actually live their entire lives running almost exclusively the same "circuit" if not disturbed, consequently often using the same toilet area.
The litmus test in this case would be noting whether or not any of the deposits there contain any significant vegetable matter (blackberries, plum pits, etc. common in Coyote dung): Bobcat scat is by appearance usually more "loose" than what is seen here, more resembling what you might find in a litterbox, and will almost never contain anything other than evidence of an exclusive carnivorous diet. In contrast, Coyotes eat everything.
