There is a researcher at Seattle U studying coyote scat to understand their diet and training a bunch of people to be community scientists to collect and send them the scat they found.
I always tell people who feed birds to only put enough out each morning that the feeder is empty at sunset and the ground feeders [pigeons, juncos, etc] have cleaned up the spilled seed thoroughly. It is a little more time consuming but not much.
