night dig

I found this wreck on the ground one morning. Something was digging, but for what? I found out later, a couple of nights ago, a local raccoon was digging. I wasn't sure for what, until I saw it chasing something. The tell-tale paths mark the trails of moles. Wicked things, but they do eat grubs. Anyway, the raccoon is the digger and mole eater. Since the ground is cold, but not yet frozen and there is a prediction for a mild winter, I believe the lawn might need more work than usual in the spring.
