One to two inches of fresh snow provides just enough cover for this vole to tunnel around and forage on seeds beneath a bird feeder on our deck. In the words of Casey, they are the plankton of the terrestrial environment here in Alaska. Martens, weasels, foxes, coyotes, hawks, owls, gulls, jaegers, pikes, everything seems to eat them. If this vole is not careful it might become dinner for Owl-berta and Owl-fred if it hangs around our house for too long.
