Field Notes

Description:

Adult Cotton Rat forages for cracked corn near my birdfeeder.

Habitat:

Wooded areas and marshes

Notes:

This is not the best of pictures but he was quite shy and would not get very close. He was darting pack and forth looking for food and grabbing fallen corn from underneath my birdfeeder. along a wooded area.
