Yes. 100% sure. Too big for a coyote or fox who also eat berries / seeds. That's a good size bear. You can generally judge by the diameter of the feces. Big turd = big orifice = big bear. Looks like he didn't eat any trash the day before - you usually can find pieces of plastic bag, diaper, aluminum foil etc. in it, if it is a trash bear.

Absolutely get your garbage secured. You will have a problem bear about the second or third time this guy comes around. Then you remove the garbage and the bear will look for the food in your garage and residence.

I would get a depredation permit and kill it, if it becomes a problem bear / repeat offender.
