Grove City sits south of Columbus, close enough to the Scioto corridor that raccoons treat the city line as a suggestion. Older streets near the center have chimneys and gable vents. The subdivisions have newer roofs that still gap at the drip edge.
Missing drip edge leaves a slot behind the gutter, between the roof deck and the fascia. Animals walk that slot into the attic and often do not have to chew. We look there on purpose, not only at the vent you already noticed.
ZIP 43123 is a regular stop. Tell us when you hear it. Dawn, the middle of the night, and dusk are three different animals until the inspection says otherwise.
