Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,875 meters (0 to 9,432 feet).[1]

Ecology: These shrews live in moist habitats and are often found along lakesides, streams , and in coastal salt marshes. They also occur in mesic forest (Wilson and Ruff, 1999). They are known to nest in decayed logs . The nests are approximately 4" in diameter and are made of dry grass . It primarily feeds on forest insects (eggs , larvae, pupae, and adults ), slugs, earthworms, and other invertebrates . Occasionally may feed on salamanders and other small vertebrates . It is active all year. Throughout the year it is most active at night. In spring , diurnal activity increases.[2].
