This species is secretive, nocturnal, arboreal, and not attracted to any of the usual small mammal baits since their diet is mostly fir needles. In other words, what a challenge! This is a species that most people (including biologists!) never get to see. Now we get to see it in action on our computer screens.

No tree voles back there, Alyssa, but with Blarina and star-nosed moles the east has some pretty neat mammals.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-18345856274256207012012-01-16T07:33:01.526-08:002012-01-16T07:33:01.526-08:00Your recent posts seem to correlate with my person...Your recent posts seem to correlate with my personal life! Earlier was the flying squirrel post (success! 10 traps set, 10 tripped, 4 deer mice, 4 flyers!) and now the vole. I just got back from a week at my college's field station where I participated in a Winter Ecology course. We had small mammal traps out which yielded mostly Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mice), and 2 Blarina brevicaudas (short-tail shrews!). And THEN an instructor was walking back from a transect of traps with students, and she spotted a vole scurrying over the snow, and she pounced on it and caught it. Turns out he was a meadow vole! Very interesting little critters! Not sure if we have tree voles out east...Alyssa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944057074589003472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-88244957402023210362012-01-15T21:27:06.087-08:002012-01-15T21:27:06.087-08:00wow.
