I lean toward explanations that involve commercially cultivated crops.  I believe, now, that grape seeds would be too large.  That each scat was so homogeneously FULL of these seeds tells me that the full meal was from one source. This suggested plenitude, not a mix of "seeds and mice" for example, that might have been casually foraged.

I took a look at a garden variety (literally) juniper bush's seeds, and I can't imaging a critter being able to harvest so many such berries in one sitting (*censored*ting?). There are only two seeds per berry, and the berries are pretty small and distributed around the bush somewhat sparely.  Again, this is in our garden, and not looking at wild plants, so I could be wrong here.
Live all you can: It’s a mistake not to.

bought a place about a year ago that has apple, pear and cherries growing in the backyard along with some grapes (not sure of the kind) have seen/shot yotes in the backyard "buffeting" on them all...don't think it matters what they eat as long as it fills their belly...crop depredation !

I had a coyote pile in my back yard that was mostly seed. Most likely the seeds were from a bird feeder, because there were a couple sunflower seeds in it. Coyotes will eat anything...
