What makes these marks?

I have seen these for years and have wondered what makes this mark

I took this pic at the Fight Trail this morning

Squished blueberry?

Maybe but It is not blueberry season and these are everywhere. If it was a blueberry
I don’t think there would be one lone spot

Trail Elf blood…definitely Trail Elf blood.

My guess is animal scat…

I have seen small piles of animal scat on rocks when riding this color, and once gone it leaves this type of mark. I live very close to Fight, and there has been sightings of a black bear in the area of Kidston Lake, which is only across the street. They are omnivores and will eat blueberries, which can produce the color you see,

It is animal scat.

Bears poop in the woods. Go figure.

Scatological.
