Eastern Harvest Mouse

This distribution of R. humulis is not well known in the state, but the species appears to be restricted to central and eastern parts of the state. This species is listed as a Tier III species by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation 2016). Caire et al. (1989) reported records from two counties. Subsequently, records have been reported from Pottawatomie County ( Bradley et al. 1988), McCurtain County (Sheffield and Chapman 1992), Osage and Payne counties (Thies et al. 1993), Okmulgee and Rogers counties ( Braun and Revelez 2005), and Le Flore County ( Braun et al. 2011). A new specimen record is reported from Bryan County. Previously, this species was known only as an observation from Bryan County.
