Groundhogs?

[RJG]

I saw these holes while I was exploring near Evan’s Bridge this week. I’m assuming they were made by groundhogs?

Also saw this fence lizard scurry away. He let me get right over him to snap a photo. I guess he figured it was too late to run, so camouflage was his best option.

Maybe the snake boys on here will suggest a pinesnake den.

Fox maybe?

Looks like Fox. However no pad prints in front of it. It could be inactive. Not a very attractive place for a Groundhog. Here's a picture of a foxhole at Forsythe from two weeks ago. It was very active.

I have more photos I didn’t post, but that looks virtually identical to what I saw. The photo I posted doesn’t do justice to the size of the holes. They’re pretty big. Probably a foot or more in diameter. I spotted three of them in about a 25 yard radius.

A foot! I don't know about that. I'm used to measuring things, and that can't be a foot. If it is, I'll be very surprised. Maybe 8".

What were you doing at Forsythe Scott?

What were you doing at Forsythe Scott?

Topographic and utility surveying for a a new building. We are working for an architectural firm from Maine. Our second project with them. We did the surveying for the elevated aluminum marsh trail for another outfit back in 2008.

Good eye! I was driving by that area this morning and decided to stop and throw a tape measure on that hole to check the progress of my senility as it relates to spatial awareness I couldn’t locate the exact hole I posted in the above photo (senility is progressing nicely) but the hole in the photo you commented on looks to be a little smaller than the one below with the tape measure on it. If I ever need to estimate dimensions from a photograph, I know who to call.
