Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse)
Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California
The photo here shows a sunflower seed for scale alongside the hind print of a deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). The two lines running diagonally from left to right are the trail of an insect (perhaps a beetle). These tracks were found in fine river silt in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California.
