fieldmice
Small pastoral scurriers
Fieldmice is the plural of fieldmouse, a small rodent that lives in meadows, grasslands, and agricultural areas rather than in houses.
These mice build nests in burrows or dense vegetation and feed primarily on seeds, grains, and insects.
The term distinguishes wild, outdoor-dwelling mice from the house mouse that has adapted to live alongside humans.
The barn owl hunted fieldmice in the wheat field.
