Mouse / Maus

Myodes or Mycrotus sp. I think. Anyway, the little imp was extemely cute, looked a bit like a miniature of a muskrat in the face, sported huge eyes and a short tail, and he could jump well, although he was not much bigger than a quail egg. / Ich denke Eine Roetel oder Wuehlmaus Sorte. Jedenfalls sah der suesse kleine Saperloetter im Gesicht einem Bisam aehnlicher als einer Hausmaus und hatte grosse Knopfaugen aber ein relativ kurzes Schwaenzchen. Er konnte auch sehr hoch springen obwohl er kaum viel groesser als ein Wachtelei war.

We where walking together for several minutes as I tried to work both as guide and scarecrow to get the poor thing of the sports lawn into the alluvial forest with leaf litter and loose ground to find a hiding place. I took many shots of it jumping and sitting both. We met it below a young tree not much taller than myself and still in a planting corsage with very little leaf litter in the middle of the pool shoreline where it barely escaped from being stepped upon. Karl at first suspected a toad as it jumped out under foot and wondered at the time of the year. But it was a desperate little furbearer. Karl said I robbed a young raptor probaply of a good easy meal getting it closer to survive winter, but I felt like giving back to Bernard & Bianca and helping one of their offspring. It was just so darn cute and bearing more similarities to them than to a sewer rat...
