There's a few dozen piles of different age and diameter
These are on a long point of an island
No tracks that I could find

I was wondering the same thing, hence the question
Last winter I found larger diameter poop with scale's in it
In late spring of this year I found tracks of large and small otter on this same point.
I'm assuming these are from those young otter

That's my uneducated guess. Otter has scales, crawfish scales and generally isn't neat like that.

That's my guess, but we don't have them, so I'm not an expert

Goose droppings they appear to be to me. Scales are usually a big indicator of otter feces.
