California Mouse
Identification Confidence
somewhat confident
Observation Date / Time
Parallel fence is back from the road about 5 m. I'm tentatively calling this a California mouse (Peromyscus californicus) based on the relatively long tail with a slight tuft on the tip, tail not as strongly bicolored as on P. maniculatus, and relatively large ear.
