Snow Mouse Thief!
I couldn't believe it... I'd been sitting some bird seed out on the back deck for my feathered friends and caught this little guy stealing their food. I didn't think mice could tolerate snow and cold so well... should have known better the little varmints ;-( He was quite funny to watch and after seeing the little notches in his ear I must admit I felt kinda sorta sorry for him and let him have the seed. More pics of this little one can be seen here:

on December 11, 2006They really are quite cute - annoying as all get out if they decide your living quarters is theirs as well but outside in the snow is fine :) I am surprised it ventured out in mid day, normally they are nocturnal.
