Rodents

Rodent photos (except squirrels). In addition to house mice Mus musculus, we get 4-4 species of Peromyscus. Apparently both brush mice, Peromyscus boylii, and piñon mice, Peromyscus truei, have enormous ears and are difficult to tell apart. Deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, look similar but have smaller ears.

Piñon mice, Peromyscus truei, or brush mice, Peromyscus boylii

Deer mice (and relatives, like brush mice), Peromyscus maniculatus

Woodrats (aka packrats): genus Neotoma, not sure which species
