They sound like the field mice we had at out old house. They actually got quite tame. Harvest mice are small but very much more common than reported. You aren't supposed to see them much up here - I've only seen them once. However, a farmer friend collects owl droppings from under a tree on his farm and sends them off for analysis. There's always masses of harvest mice in there. (Maybe that's why we don't see them - the owls eat 'em!)
