Since yesterday the trap has been sprung 5 times. 3 mice have been captured relocated to more outdoorsy surroundings, running pell mell across the snow, back and forth, confused by the bright sunlight, wide open spaces. They should be OK, there's plenty of bird feeders in the neighborhood, if they settle into the right hedge they'll never be hungry. Or so I tell myself. I know there's at least 2 more, but the trap will only hold one at a time. So I've set it up again and am waiting. The remaining mice have grown cautious, they've undoubtedly notice a thinning of the ranks. Gone is the line at the chew. It's a waiting game...
