Photos For Nature Buffs

Two of my best catches today in the share - a Horned Grebe with a yellow perch minnow and a Meadow Vole eating bird seed in my brush pile.

Very nice work !

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing!

That meadow vole is so cute!! Great picture.

That takes more patience than hunting- really nice

great photos, however the bottom picture is not a meadow vole....meadow voles have a short nose and a short tail. the critter you have is in the genus rattus, but i cant say which species. they all look alike to me

thank you Jonathan

Good work.

I think that's a mouse not a vole, voles tend to be more stocky and less of a pointed head.
just my .02

Very Nice Photos Jonathan!

Thanks, Jonathan.

Thank you to all for the compliments and ID responses.

Those small rodents do all very much look alike. After review, I agree that this is a mouse species.

Thanks for sharing Jonathan...

Jonathan you are keeping your followers additted with you work. But the second picture even though it was in a meadow it is not a meadow vole.

The long bare tail and the pointed nose is the throw back. Judging by seed size besides the vermin it was small and Norway rats don't have that pelage when they are young so it is leading toward a house mouse, Mus domesticus

The pelt looks prime.Great pics Jonathan.

I liked the pink flamingo in the christmass tree.
