The eastern mole’s Florida records are led by three sites tied at 6 named reports each: Ocala National Forest, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, and the University of Central Florida Natural Area. Highlands Hammock and Myakka River state parks add 3 each, with 2 at Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, a spread that crosses the peninsula from central forest and inland prairie to the Atlantic coast near Jacksonville.
Florida’s 612 records peak in April, at 71, with June and May close behind at 65 and 64. Moles spend most of their lives underground, so records depend on the surface signs people happen to notice, not a true activity count.
