Concur.. Short-tailed Shrew... We used to encounter these frequently when =
doing sub-nivean small mammal surveys. They are probably responsible for t=
he majority of the snow tunnels we encounter in pastures. Open winters ca=
n be a bit more problematic, especially when the temperatures drop (as they=
are doing now), but usually get good overwintering survival
