poop in the snow

So does anyone here know their scat?  Is this just squirrel poop?

It seems big for what I imagine a squirrel to leave behind.  Also lots of it.  Lots more in the area than just in this photo.

Or could this be raccoon?  I've heard they visit my yard.  Maybe rabbit, but again there's a lot of it and no recent rabbit sightings.

Edit: 2021 January 29
Before I went to bed last night, I took a look outside my window into my back yard.  I saw the bunny sitting alone in the cold.  :(

YAY! I can't remember if I've seen any rabbits since I had the dog. I know there were beforehand. I'm glad his scent is totally gone now, and they feel safe spending so much time here. :)

Just be ready for them to eat everything you plant. They prefer the same things you do, so garden vegetables go first.

There should be an app for that. (-:

I thought this was going to be it, but it's just a helpful text webpage.

Conveniently, [personal profile] foeclan provided this doc on another social network.
