Observed skeletal remains and various clumps of mammal fur scattered over a 30 yard area. Possibly the remains of a predated Virginia Opossum, Raccoon, cat or? Specimen looked to have a long tail based on skeleton. Coyote scat was observed next to the skeleton.
This is more a didactic upload showing 2 types of leaf damage in the same leaf (mining and shotgun-ish)

Some sort of orange eggs in elongated clusters, attached to moss (Leptodictyum riparium) on a branch that was completely submerged under water, in a vernal pool. There was a sizable slimy mass containing eggs (photos 1-3), but many of the egg strands were attached to moss leaves without too much of the slime.
I found similar eggs on Carex leaves:
