A Muskrat Gathers Grass

From May 2009. As I took this trip down memory lane, I recalled My First and Only (so far) Muskrat Encounter

This is the same image as the top one - just cropped a little closer so you can see the grasses in his mouth. I assume he was taking these for food for his little ones 
OR for building a nest.

I am blessed with beautiful pine trees that grow up along the side of my deck. My deck is on the 2nd story, so I am about mid level with the pines when I step out onto it. 
This little guy is one of the many visitors I have to the pines.   They are a common bird here, but beautiful all the same :)
