	Eastern Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys humulis)
		The eastern harvest mouse is found mainly in habitats dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants characteristic of early vegetational succession, including places such as abandoned fields, weed-filled ditches, and briar thickets.
		Eastern harvest mice are essentially nocturnal, although at times they may be active during the daylight hours, particularly during cold weather.
		During periods of cold weather, these mice huddle together in the nest at night to reduce heat loss from their bodies, and they feed in the daytime when it is warmer.
