Is this termite damage?

I was trying to mount a sun shade a few days ago. The wood right under the roof felt hollow when I squeezed it so I pushed until it gave and took this picture. Before I cracked the wood in, it didn't look damaged at all. The squishy area is off and on over a course of about a foot. I checked all around the rest of the roof line and it's only in this one area. It's also only about the lower 4 inches of wood. Right above this the roof was leaking and it was repaired when a new roof was put in about 10 years ago. I looked for bugs in there but couldn't find any. Although it does look like there are fecal pellets.
