Muskrat
Muskrat.
We visited my artist mom for Mother’s day and got an added bonus - a muskrat! I have never been able to get close to these guys before, much less have one climb out of the water onto a stick in nice light!

Hey Ron,
Yeah, totally bummer about the light here, eh?
What a sweet shot. I’m keen to get some images of a muskrat this summer. I can’t believe you got this much open water already.
Cheers

I’ve never heard of a muskrat, and that is awesome you can see this on the way to visit your mom. I’m more likely to see a muskrat spray painted on a freeway sign.

Please continue to post your beautiful pics. You’re one of my favorites.

Hi Carl,
Yeah, this lake just opened up. Thanks man.
Richard, have you heard of the song Muskrat Love? I don’t know if the song has anything to do with these guys. They are kind of like miniature beavers, even have a similar tail.
Thanks Vivian!

They sure like those pond roots eh? We have quite a few of them around here, but often quite skittish. Nice shot Ron.
