Have seen turkeys scratching up areas but never seen them dig holes in the ground.

Skunk. Dig up some of the ground litter and see if any grubs there.

I agree with skunk. Although it could be squirrel digging up nuts they buried before.

I would guess skunk too. The reason a lot of the digging is near the small trees is likely that the skunk is searching for the grubs eating their roots, to eat.
