Hi Sandra, the White-footed Mouse is also known as the Deer Mouse.

Nick, is the white footed mouse anything like the Kankaroo mouse? Before we moved to Candle we had a number of them caught by our dog and cat. This was near Fairview Fairway Golf course (Silver Willow Subdivision)
Speculation of neighbors was someone had released a litter (or more?) in the field and they survived in mole runs. One spring we saw a still white weasel hopping from one 'gopher hole' to the next. He did a fair good job cleaning out the rodents for a time!
I have sent your site to relatives in Aus,, they'll be so awed! It is our hope our Rufous met up with the other sightings of them in the spring.. Cheers Sandra
