Henri's Vole

We came upon this little Vole on a Beaver Pond. His strategy was to stand perfectly still so that we wouldn't see him moving. This little animal is why there are so many Marten here. Because of all the debris on the ground it is perfect habitat for Voles also called Meadow Mice. A Marten will eat 5 to 8 Voles a day. It made us smile as it scurried away.

That's a pretty healthy-looking vole!
