All 1,203 Florida records for the southern short-tailed shrew come from GBIF survey and museum data; none were posted to iNaturalist. That fits an animal that spends most of its life underground and is rarely seen alive. St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge is the only named site tied to a record, and even there it’s just one, so the rest are scattered rather than clustered at any single place.
February produces the highest monthly total, with January close behind, both well ahead of the rest of the year. That pattern is more likely shaped by when trapping surveys happen than by the shrew’s own activity, since an underground animal like this one is almost never observed directly.
