Description
Hiking around at Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area, I turned over a log looking for herps and found this (I think) White-footed Mouse. It froze for a minute or two, giving me time to retrieve my camera, which had not been ready. After a few shots, it hid again under a small log--when I tried to move that for some clear shots it bounded off across a clearing at mouse-warp speed and disappeared into a bigger pile of brush.
