Day 116 - See a Muskrat

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

We rode our bikes along a bike path that runs along-side a stream.  We say ducks nesting and then we saw something we've never seen before there…something with fur like a beaver, sitting in the weeds by the water.  It turned and started swimming in the creek then dove under the weeds along the bank and disappeared.  We saw another one further on.  It had a tail like a rat and was small.

I got home and looked up water rodents and found…Muskrat!  We saw two muskrats!  I've never seen a muskrat before.  We ride by again tonight and I'm going to see if I can find their home this time.
