Field notes
What to look for
A dumpy dark brown vole with a blunt nose, small ears hidden in fur and a short tail.
Where
Grassy meadows, marsh edges and hayfields throughout the province.
When
Year-round; its runways through matted grass appear when snow melts.
Tips
Chunkier than a mouse, with a much shorter tail. Most owls' favourite meal.
