You just be sent me down a rabbit hole, er, shrew tunnel! I hadn’t thought much about shrews. My mum in law had a cat that delighted in depositing them on the porch. He would drool profusely after “playing” with one, a by product of the toxin.
Oregon is home to ten kinds of shrews. Two interesting variants: Preble’s Shrew, which live in our high desert sage lands, and the Pacific Water Shrew—a shrew that swims!
Thanks for the conga line of mom and babies. I’ll be watching it on repeat all day while I procrastinate about grading papers.
Thank you for this! The snow JUST thawed where I am in VT and I have noticed the remains of their little shrew paths and now I know!
Oh good! Our snow is finally gone, too, the surface of the earth is super fresh. Glad you could see the shrew paths, like strange cursive I think.

Ooh the water shrew -- keep an eye out for one. There is a story of Teddy Roosevelt and a water shrew ... I will try to dig it up for you!
