That looks like it!! I gotta get him out next time I see him.

This might have answered another question I had on a previous post. Only twice I've seen this, where white powder shoots out of a hole in the rock. The article says that they make there space inside rocks bigger and I am thinking that was him flushing out the crumbled rock.
