Western deer mice carry no NatureServe state rank on file in Arkansas, and the record leans entirely on iNaturalist (12 of 12 records, with 10 also appearing in GBIF), meaning casual sightings, not trapping surveys, document what’s known about this small, nocturnal rodent here.
Records cluster in the first half of the year, January through April account for 10 of the 12 sightings, with long stretches of complete silence, May and July through September show nothing at all, too sparse a dataset in a 12-record total to support a confident seasonal read beyond confirming occasional winter-spring detection.
