Bill,
Interesting recording.  I've got an alternative theory.  I believe
your visitor might be a beaver.  The scratching sounds you captured
don't sound like they are in direct contact with the microphone,
rather they are occurring nearby.  They sound like the beaver gnawing
a tree with sharp incisor teeth.  I believe you've recorded a beaver
eating  and cutting a tree in the night.
