This muskrat was eating some water milfoil fetched from the bottom of the channel. Saving some for later perhaps?
Some grooming.
Much better.

Now, and for a few months is the time to see muskrats, for it is now that unmated males wander about looking for a mate and a new home. Your final rather nice protrait reminds me that a muskrat has rather poor eyesight; it probably did not see you even though it is looking towards you.
Puzzled. Unsupervised but not I presume hostile takeover of the authority of this site?
Doug, as I explained to Derek, when I invited him to contribute: this blog is not about me, it is about this region.
Great find Derek.
Good to see all the snow is gone.
