Are there soil specialists here?

William,

That's good But hey... everythings big in Texas!

Including the "Tall Tales"! Texans wear boots because "IT" can get pretty deep here!

Got to watch what I say as I'm just "Another Damn Yankee Transplant" here (Hah Hah)!!

With vole mounds you won't see the hole unless you move the mound.

Crayfish/crawdads.. they're freshwater shrimp. They don't come out of the water.

Actually they are more closely related to lobsters, but the more important question is, if they don't come out of the water, how in the heck do they get on my plate?

I'll go aginst the crowd here and suggest that it might be a pile of cat litter. The clumpimg kind. The colour, size and texture all match what clumping cat litter looks like when its been dumped outside and exposed to rain.

FYI: I have 4 cats and a several hundred moles on my property.

I think Paul is Correct . Cat litter.
Trivia for the day Moles hair grows straight out from the body so they can back up in their tunnel . If it was slanted back like most animals then it would jam up and they could not back up .In my area the moles we have are have a star on their nose hence name star moles Roy Cooke
Healthy ground grows lots of Worms..Worms bring Moles . No worms no moles incidental Voles are a different animal many people call voles Field Mice but not the same

It's a very considerate home owner who puts cat litter out for the voles to use.

You can buy cat litter in different boxes one type of box says on the out side great to put under your wheels when stuck on ice . Same stuff.

Thats what I thought we have them by the millions up here and I've never seen them out of the water. I thought you yanks had a special breed down there.
