Why Can't Birds Pose Like This?
Taken at Campbell Valley Park, Langley, British, Columbia, CA.
I've had the experience of having an unaware muskrat obliviously eating a skunk cabbage leaf literally between my feet on the banks of a wetland. I dared not move...and the only photos of the encounter with that muskrat were eclipsed by the lush green grass I was standing in.
This is the first time, however that the muskrat came out of the water (oblivious again...hence the many unhappy circumstances perpetrated that resulted in their hides being used for warm clothing during their species' less halcyon days) and posed for me.
Below is a link to a video of 'Ondatra zibethicus' enjoying that quiet moment on the creek.
