wood mice

[nightshade]

my son called me to see what he had found,he was sitting outside smoking,
when I arrived he pointed out a couple of wood mice taking pea nuts and seeds from a ground feeder less than half a mtr. away,totaly unconcerned at their audience,scampering back and forth,they seemed to bound along on hind legs rather than all fours and kept this up for what seemed like 10 mins. before calling it a night

Wood mice have very strong hind legs, and can jump quite high!
