I went for a hike at Centennial Park today.  I was lifting up logs looking for Eastern Red-Backed Salamanders.  I lifted up a log and saw 3 Deer Mice.  There were 2 Deer Mice under the log and 1 Deer Mouse in the log.  I read that now is the breeding season for Deer Mice.  I also read that Deer Mice nest in hollow logs.  I am hoping that the Deer Mice will return to that same log.  I do not want the Deer Mice to go through any trouble to find another nesting site.

Deer Mice will also nest in birdhouses too.
