Index of Subjects I have seen a Woodland Jumping mouse (Napeozapus insignis) in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park at the new Eatonville site in the north end of the park. It was foraging near a hole in the road embankment, broad daylight. We took photos and watched it for some time as it busied itself with feeding on vegetation near the hole. They are quite charming.
