The birdfeed fallen under the feeders represents heaven to the opportunistic rodents. They have snow tunnels to wherever they are living and are actually quite amusing to watch...and they are fast! They normally take "turns" coming out of, and back into, their "own" tunnels. There were two moles I was watching yesterday, while a bold chickadee was giving them a talking to.
Furry little things. They don't stray too far from their little snow holes...would be a nice breakfast for a passing fox, hawk or owl!
This one is coming out of #2 tunnel, the one in the picture above has just gone back into #1 tunnel, above. I'm curious where the snow tunnels go to, or if they overlap, but don't want to dig down and destroy them to find out. Yeah, they are annoying and destructive little rodents, but kind of cute, just the same....
