Scurrying sounds
I haven't heard any scurrying sounds coming from under the deck for a while, so I am guessing raccoons moved out. I saw this sentence in my son's reading book "Diary of a wimpy kid".
I know that scurrying is a present participle but I don't the exact meaning of the phrase "scurrying sounds". When I checked a few dictionaries, I couldn't find the scurrying entry as an adjective with the meaning. How to expand that phrase "scurrying sounds" in full so it makes sense?
