If those are the pits of the berries, then they are choke cherries, only thing with that size of seed.

I’ve seen that plant before but don’t know what it is. There are plant identification apps that you can get.

Not saying it isn’t, but I don’t think it is. It could be a different kind of choke cherry I guess
That plant is full grown I believe

This poop has “fertilizer “ looking “pits” not seeds
And sometimes the pits are white or a yellow color

I guess I read it wrong, I thought I was looking at yellow seeds and red rinds in a pulp pile from a stomach. Are some of those orange and yellow things full berries?

Well either way rose hips are damn good eating and full of vitamin C! Try them sometime. Do they look like mountain ash berries?

Yes there can be a orange
In the top right of that gut pile is a full berry
Wasn’t uncommon to see that
One bear we tracked this year that was a helpful tip in tracking

Mountain Ash, Sorbus americana, seeds are light brown, oblong and compressed, which those seeds are not. Chokecherry, Prunus virginianus, seeds are just like pie cherry seeds, except there is not as much fruit around the seed and they can vary from bright red to purple, it is a shrubby tree 10-12' tall.  The picture of the Solomon Seal is not what the bear ate.  Rose hips are full of multiple little seeds just like Oregon grape.
