--0016e6d9a25b1dda6c0489108503 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 It was years ago in my undergrad when I found out that mice ate insects (the display mice were routinely fed crickets). I always thought mice were just herbivores. Then as my naturalist and biologist skills grew, I came to learn of the role of chipmunks and squirrels as nest predators. And last year, a trapper told me that mice may get into snared (dead) coyotes and other furbeareres. Well, yesterday I saw something most bizarre. The night before I had tossed outside a snap trap with a mouse in it; I was going to deal with it in the morning. Something (likely a crow) had removed most of the mouse from the trap, but one leg was still there. A chipmunk came by, got the leg, then held it up to its mouth almost like it was eating corn, and started feeding on it. Bizarre!
