Fellow ChDs:

Eastern mole
Scalopus aquaticus
 
Habitat: Moist sandy loam; lawns, fields, meadows, hardwood forests; avoids 
extremely dry soils.

Food: Primarily earthworms. Also eats soil insects and some vegetable matter.
Vegetation is known to comprise a small portion of their diet.  However, 
...one star nosed mole was noted to consume 1850 earthworms, three mice, one 
frog, and two large grubs in 14 days!
