Badger or Kit Fox?

Morning moon
This morning I had Dr. K keep Willow with her near the middle branch arroyo while I headed up to the badger burrows to see if I could find footprints that might identify which critters are using those holes.  I saw some tiny prints that might belong to kit foxes, but I couldn't tell for certain because they were blurred.  From the sheer number of holes (6, within a 20' radius) I'll stick with my first guess:  they're burrows made by badgers.
