Last night around midnight the front light came on, as some of you know it has a motion sensor. Some times the wind can trigger it or a critter usually the cat. As I was looking for movement I noticed this little guy climbing around in the Rhododendron bush. So I went out with the camera. Well he just kept climbing higher up the bush until he got to the top and I was able to get a few shots as he just sat there.
I looked him up in the Audubon Field Guide. He's a White-Footed Mouse they nest in the trees in the warmer months and under the snow in the winter. He's about 7 inches long nose to tail but more than half of that is tail.
