Long-tailed weasels carry a NatureServe S3 vulnerable rank in Mississippi, and the record here rests entirely on GBIF specimen data, all 14 records, with half of those also appearing in iNaturalist (7), reflecting how thoroughly trapping data, not casual sightings, documents this elusive predator in the state.
Records scatter across seven months with small bumps in January and May (3 sightings each), too sparse a pattern in a dataset this small to describe a confident seasonal trend, though the winter and spring bumps loosely track when trapping and survey effort for small carnivores tends to be highest.
