Description:

North American Deer Mice
(Genus Peromyscus)

Notes:

Found at the bottom of an empty bucket of chicken feed in our barn. The two older mice were significantly different in size. There were three newborn mice as well. (We didn't have the heart to dispatch them, so we released them far from our barn.)
