Something is eating off branches of my rhododendrons and then tunneling up inside of the broken off branches.?

Probably something is eating off the branches, like deer, and exposing the hollow pith area inside the stem. If you took one of those branches and split it in half you would likely find nothing inside. There are very few things that eat off the branch and then eat their way down into the branch.

Squirrels or racoons are making nests for the winter. Since it is happening at night, I would tend to suspect the racoons. In any case, if the damage is not severe, a little pruning should produce some nice blossoms on the other buds in the spring.
