Vole!
We have a vole under the front steps!
We've been stalking him all summer, hearing his little vole noises and scurrying around.
He's been extra active these last couple weeks, probably getting ready for winter.
Mom surprised him yesterday. He was out alongside the house when she stepped out to get the mail. He ran for his vole hole and disappeared underneath.
He's a sleek little gray fellow, and moves lightning fast!
Last winter he did a lot of tunneling under the snow and kind of wrecked the yard in one place. If we don't catch him he will do the same this time. Him and his kin. There's probably him and a little family under there. Where there's one there's more, right?
We gotta get busy!
These are pictures of one Shaggy caught a couple years ago. Mom's camera isn't cooperating so no new pictures for now.

A Vole! We wonder what they taste like, and is the head crunchy? Yum.
I hear that voles are extra-yummy! Happy hunting!
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a vole
You have voles, I have gophers. They are digging up a new section of the yard now. I hope you guys catch it/them soon.
