I live outside Stayton, towards Lyons. We have a lot of yellow jackets around here which (after 46 years) I have pretty well taken care of. However, because of the summer heat, I didn't get down to clean out my drainage ditch along my property. Apparently a queen installed a nest into the side of the ditch under one of my rose bushes. When I was down there today, I noticed a bunch of nest layers lying in the ditch....and a large hole about 8-10 inches deep and about 8 inches across. Rocks, dirt, nest materials all laying in my ditch---along with a queen, which I promptly dispatched. I don't know of any critter around here that would have torn out a nest like that. I have possom, fox, raccoon, weasel, cougar that I know of. I just wonder what might have done that.
