Wildlife

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

This is certainly an interesting weekend for me in regards with wildlife. Last night I saw what I believe to have been a wolverine in the mountains (an unusual sight in south-central Pennsylvania), and tonight when I was putting on my boots to head off on a hike, I found something else:

These pictures (taken after the inevitable trying-to-put-my-foot-in-my-boot and then reaching-in-with-a-hand-to-try-to-figure-out-what-was-inside) are of an obviously irritated field mouse. We suspect he has been inside the house for some time, and hung around and let me take pictures of him because he was half-starved and possibly dazed or even concussed by the severe shaking I had to give my boot in the yard to get him to come out.

Yes, he looks rather irritated to me too.
