Since the snow melted, you can see mouse trails along the farm. It's like there are miles and miles of these trails. The mice must have made them when the snow covered the ground. It's amazing to see. And a tad scary to contemplate how many mice are underneath me as I stand gazing at their trails.
The mice populations have been increasing. I know they have cycles and they must be getting to another peak population. I think this is why we have been seeing so many different smaller raptors: Sparrow hawks, and I was sure I spotted two peregrine falcons, and there have been a couple of owls hanging around too.
