A muskrat dragging some greenery back to its abode
I'm not sure if the foliage is food or something fresh to line the muskrat's home, but the muskrat was on a mission and didn't notice me or my camera. The muskrat lives in a den just beneath the branches you see here.

Busy little muskrat. I wonder if they have babies in the spring. Amazing that you could spot it.

I, of course, thought it was a beaver before reading your copy.
How neat. What a great catch. That touch of green is just right too. MB
I thought it looked like a beaver also. Maybe they're cousins. We have beavers in my home area of eastern Texas but no muskrats. You keep giving me things to ponder over! Oh, BTW, what a great capture!
Great picture! I love to see these creatures -- they are so busy and intent on their business. Lovely place to walk there! Thanks for sharing.
What a cutie :).

great picture--my dad liked to tell a story of a time he accidently hooked a muskrat while fishing. He reeled it in to remove the hook--but the muskrat didn't feel to kindly towards my dad and bit his raft. My dad had to paddle as hard as he could to make it back to sure before the ship sunk.
sure? . . . I meant shore *chagrin*
He does appear to have a one-track mind. Nice capture.
He looks cute here!
We have them here too, and seem easy to photograph. Great picture EG!.

Go, brother, go! Love the shot.
He is a busy as a beaver, Ha Ha. Great shot. Take care.
Wow, is he cute. I've never seen one here where we live.
Great capture. He does look like he is on a mission and can't be bothered by anything.

Wow - your timing was perfect! Cute little bugger that muskrat!
Pretty amazing!
He does look purposeful, doesn't he? I have no idea what muskrats eat, so I can't help you there! Great photo, though!
