Hi Silke, personally, me-thinks it is a mouse, Mus musculus.
In certain texts, Microtus pennsylvanicus is also known as "meadow vole", and "field/meadow" mouse...so, it is easy to get confused...oh, Microtus is widespread throughout US and Canada.

As another ID, the vole would have a stout, short and hairy tail. So,if he was a chunky wee fella with a short hairy tail...hi to vole...skinny hairless tail...hello mouse...

Hello My Friend,

I am so glad you were merciful; I 'm sure that is a characteristic of wildlife photographers! This is such a cute little mouse and your capture is superb! The details of the face and fur are in such sharp focus! Good natural colours! I love it!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I have run into this situation as in the Never Cry Wolf ...a MUST see for all folks into nature if they have not already seen it..It is a 1983 movie about a person studying wolves in the Great White North and how he ends up with eating rats and having a canoe full of beer. How convenient. It is a super movie and your picture reminds me much of it.

Hello Silke,
Fortuitous capture of a Domestic Mouse (Mus musculus). A vole would ahve shorter and more tucked in ears. Nice sharpness and taken from a fine POV in a fine composition with good lighting.
I believe this species, like the brown rat, is circumglobal. Quite harmless really and quite in keeping with the 'Tom and Jerry' spirit, but you might need the pest control people if you have too many.
TFS and enjoy your weekend,
Ivan

Aaawww cute lil thing ain't he!
We havn't had a mouse in our house for ages... probably since we got our huge Maine Coon cat 5 years ago.
A lovely shot of this critter.
+++ Great detail in the dense fur, it looks really soft. The POV is superb and so is the pose. You've framed it very well.
--- Nothing :)
Well done Silke,
Joe

Hello Silke!
What a cute and lovely creature! Fantastic close-up with very good sharpness and details. So small mammals are rather rare presented on TN so this is one more point to say: BRAVO!
TFS and have a nice evening!

Hello Silke,

this really a cute little fellow. Maybe he/she was in wintersleep? A fine close capture you got with sharp focus on eye and little ear. Nice natural colours. Thank you for your gentleness. Have a nice day and TFS BOB

Hi Silke,
very cute, very charming face with sparkling dark eyes in lovely clear details and the appropriate softness in transitions to tell of the softness of this tiny furry body. Unusual kind of encounter to find a mouse sleeping in your house. I think you treated it well to carry it carefully outside, and I am also sure that it found a quick way to return to that cosy warm place. So maybe that nice picture story has a chance to be continued.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter
