Myodes rutilus
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Northern Red-backed Vole (Myodes rutilus): Present on the mainland at least as far south as LeConte Bay (according to MacDonald Cook 2007 - but arctos records show collections identified as this species from as far south as the southern mainland border). Reported from two islands, Douglas Island and Young Island (the latter in Yakutat Bay)
