Whose Bones?

There has been a preponderence of strange scat on the paths around our house lately. It is right in the middle of the path down the hill, the path at the bottom of the hill, the road curving up the side of the hill, the drive on the other side of the hill leading down into our driveway. We don't know whose it is. It is medium-sized; smaller than our dogs' output, bigger than that of the cats. The other day I noticed at the bottom of the hill a pile of it, about half of which consisted of fur and bones. Little, tiny bones. What animal has tiny bones like this, and what other animal would have eaten it? Fox? Coyote? It's in the same area where we found the remains of the buzzard last year.


Note what looks like a little toe or claw at left. I mean to go down later today to salvage some of the bones; will get some better pictures while I am at it.
