Wow, what an interesting shot of their nest and with muskrats on it what a bonus.

Thank you so much, Clifford. always appreciated. These lodges pop up around the lake every autumn but I seldom see any sign of activity near them. It was a real treat to finally catch them outside for a change.

That must have been a super calm day to get such a perfect reflection. Really cool shot Heather and the muskrats add the element of activity to a very calm day. Beautiful.

Thank you, Debra, always appreciated. I didn't realize it at the time but the conditions were perfect for a shot like this since I was struggling to focus through the bushes. The best part for me was when I realized the two muskrats were part of the photo too.

Very interesting shot Heather. They are building a very beautyful lodge. The reflection on water is just amasing.. Well done Heather.

Heather Mellon

Thank you very much, Yves, always appreciated. I took this shot through some thick bushes and honestly wasn't expecting much. I think the angle of the sun and the still waters made a big difference on the reflection. I totally agree with you, that lodge is really beautiful and will keep them cozy through the winter too.

Description
I wasn't expecting to find any muskrats in the photos I took of their lodge so this was a nice surprise.
