Florida’s 206 eastern harvest mouse records rely almost entirely on GBIF specimen data, with only 2 coming from iNaturalist. That split suggests most of what’s known about this small grassland mouse in Florida comes from museum and survey collections rather than casual sightings.
Records peak in April, the year’s clear high point, easing off through the rest of the year. Small mammals like this one are typically detected through targeted trapping, so the April rise likely tracks survey timing more than any true seasonal shift in the mouse’s own activity.
