Prairie voles live beneath the grass canopy in prairies, hayfields, old fields, and roadside cover across much of Kansas. Konza Prairie and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve offer representative habitat, although runways under matted grass are usually easier to find than the voles themselves.
This high rank is driven by specimen and survey records in GBIF, not easy viewing: just 16 research-grade iNaturalist observations are represented. Detections span the year and concentrate from June through September as grass cover and seasonal population numbers increase.
