Muskrats

I know these creatures are in a little pond. They make sure there are holes in the ice to come up out of. I have only briefly seen them out of the holes near the pond. On the day of the photos I saw them scampering up the hill from the pond.

Muskrats – Digging in the grasses under the snow

They appeared to be moving snow and digging in the grass underneath. It appeared they were eating a lot of it there, but some they were carrying back down to the pond.

Muskrats – pausing to look at me
Muskrats- just out of the water

If you celebrate it- Wishing you a prosperous new year! 祝你新年快乐. 번영하는 새해를 기원합니다 chúc bạn một năm mới an khang thịnh vượng

Have a great rest of your week!

    1. At a much larger body of water I have seen muskrats from a distance. The pond this group seems to live in is small and they get grass and plants from an open grassy area close by. It’s fun to watch them. I wish I could catch them on the ice. I see their little footprints in the snow on top of the ice.
