Title: Muskrat
Post by: Napper on January 08, 2007, 07:01:42 PM
I have not seen a posting regarding a Muskrat yet.. It is not really  T'rana

but here we go. Yesterday while watching  at a few ducks at my Favourite pond I heard a loud Splash, "beaver like" ..

I look down a the pond and say 75 feet away maybe less,  a large Muskrat was floating motionless not more than 10 feet from the shore..

It stayed like this for 2 maybe 3 minutes then dissapeared under the surface..  aprrox 11:15 am yesterday..

Not a really productive day for waterfowl.. Napper :D  and not many good images (like that's unusual)
