Look like seeds to me. A mouse could those in there in no time flat.

Mouse droppings are more oblong, like mini hot dogs with pointy ends. These appear more circular. Mice will poop everywhere they walk, and would walk along the edge of your garage. Were these anywhere else in your garage? If not, I think you can rule out mouse droppings.

Looks like you have a bowl of Kellogg's pops Just add milkLooks like Lake Erie beach sand to me. I would guess a foraging critter should be to blame for that. When I did a Whipple swap on my 03 termi I found these when I pulled the blower and IC off. A winters supply of snails and some insulation.

Honestly looks like from a bush there close. The mouse hauled them in. Find mice quick with the bucket technique.
Get a 5 gallon bucket. Get some weed eater line or can use any small wire. Cut a 3/16 hole thru the bucket at the rim down about 3" from top. Drill a 3/16.hole thru a plastic 16 once bottle that doesn't have an hourglass shape. Want it fairly cylinder shaped. I drill perfectly thru the center of the cap and the bottom so you can put the line/wire completely thru the bottle when inside the bucket and tie the ends off, so the bottle spins in the bucket. Cut a little board so that it leads up to the bottle and is about 2 of 3" away. Scrape a little peanut butter on the board that leads up to the bottle...just a thin layer. Then plaster that bottle with peanut butter. Try to balance it so it easily rolls still. Fill the bucket with 4" of water. They fall in and drown and die. If there is no water they crawl right back out.
First day I put it in my garage I got 8 in the bucket. Then 4 every day for a week. Now it's clear. Only time I get them is when they start running in fall. I get them right away. They are always looking for food first. I got tired of putting new weather strip in every fall. Now I let them come in the garage and die. Never any in my house. It doesn't have any venerable areas.
Depending on where you live it could be bug poop. I know crickets leave poop as big as mice, so I'm sure some bugs could leave that size and possibly shape.

I sent your photo to my exterminator. He said those are seeds stored there by mice and that you got lucky if thats all that blew out! I usually stuff steel wool in my cars tailpipes before storage to prevent this. Exterminator said wire brushes will work as well.Also put lots of bounce sheets in and around the car especially under the hood. I wrapped all my under hood electrical with them this winter as the little critters are out in full force this year and seem to find wire insulation delicious.

Oh this works like no tomorrow! I'm shocked that there multiple rodents in the bucket!
I used an empty toilet roll in the middle, chop sticks and put peanut butter. Works like a charm!!
