Since they prefer woody and brushy areas, they come to the sanctuary looking for food, but probably do not live there. Also referred to as the field mouse, this small mammal is active during both the day and night. It lives at the sanctuary year round. The vole makes it home in underground burrows and attracts numersou raptors such as the northern harrier, to the sanctuary who seek it out for food. They hunt small mammals and are active mainly at night.
Reptiles hibernate in the winter.
REptiles are covered with protective scales that waterproof their bodies and keep them from becoming dehydrated. They breathe via lungs. All breed on land and their eggs have brittle or leathery shells. Extremely variable in color and pattern, all races have a yellowish back strip. They are active by day nearly year-round.
