Looks like it may be a shrew mole to me, front legs don't face outwards like a mole. I trap small mammals on some of the construction sites around here and have seen them before, though not often.

If it's 1 mole, there must be 6.02 X 10 to the power of 23 of them!

Sorry; a chemistry joke... Any of my old students looking in???

Shrew-mole (Neurotrichus gibbsii)

RANGE: Occurs west of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges from the Frasier river area of British Columbia south to the Monterey area of California.

STATUS: No state or federal protection for this species.

HABITAT: Most abundant in deep humus free soils in deep ravines. Dominant vegetation in these sites include big leafed maple, vine maple, red alder, flowering dogwood, various deciduous shrubs and brambles, sword fern, mosses and skunk cabbage. Shrew moles occur less frequently in shallow soils, such as those encountered in burned over areas, headland prarie, dry woods or areas with a stony or rocky substrate.

SPECIAL HABITAT REQUIREMENTS: Deep non-compacted soil as Shrew moles construct extensive runway networks about 40mm wide and 20mm deep in soft soil beneath the duff layer.

BREEDING:

FOOD: Shrew moles are unique in that it has the size and forefeet of a shrew, and the large head and dental structure of a mole, and it's unique ability to climb low bushes to forage for insects, earthworms, insect larva, and adult insects are consumed.

I 'guessed' the water shrew due to their abundance in BC over the shrew mole.

Reality though .... identification of shrews are usually made by examination of their teeth.
