Muskrat

Muskrat
Happened to notice this Muskrat in the creek leading into the Bow River yesterday, when I called in to check on the Great Horned Owls. I was fascinated by the patterns the Muskrat created as it swam through the reflections in the water. People are sometimes unsure if they have seen a Beaver or a Muskrat when they see something swimming - as you can see in this photo, the Muskrat's tail is long and thin, not like the Beaver's large tail, flattened like a paddle. The Beaver is also a much larger animal.
