A photo of a small mammal burrow that has the “top” removed so you can see the chamber and some grassy bedding material where a vole sometimes sleeps.

This is a pretty typical chamber we’ve been finding during burrow excavations. A circular path and some Vole bedding material, with a third exit that leads straight out the back of the bedding spot. #burrowexcavation #fieldbiologist

Biologist excavation tools: borescopes and pool noodles. #fieldbiologist #burrowexcavation
