Yesterday I took the time to photograph a pair of Meadow Voles feeding on bird seed. One of them was more attracted to my watermelon rind birding decoy without seed in in it. Here are a few captures in the share. I am surprised the hawks and feral cats haven't discovered them yet. In a few days my mouse traps will harvest them for trapping bait.

Then I got into position and took her, she had a curved spine, never saw that before, center of her back on stretcher looked like a snake
