Life endures in hidden, cold worlds

CHENA HOT SPRINGS — “This is your chance — maybe your only chance in a
lifetime — to see vole poop in a tunnel,” said Mike Taras, an expert
tracker and wildlife educator for the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game.

Seven people kneel and then squint into a blue-white opening in the snow. We see tiny cigars, evidence that a red-backed or meadow vole had indeed paused there. Taras was correct — this was the first time most of us had seen vole poop in a snow tunnel.
