Western meadow vole records in Idaho cluster around Deer Flat and Camas national wildlife refuges and the Snake River corridor’s wetland edges, though with only 24 total records the species is thinly documented across the state.
Reports scatter across six separate months, February through December, without a single dominant peak, a pattern that reflects how sparse the record is rather than year-round even activity. NatureServe has not yet assigned the species an Idaho rank, listing it SNR, Unranked, and the recent taxonomic split of some Microtus populations into this species may be part of why.
