Sly Weasel

While photographing a muskrat on the snow banks of the Creditview River, this weasel stopped to take notice of my presence, which allowed me to take this stunning portrait. After expressing its brief curiosity, the weasel disappeared under the rocks along the river bank.

 

Weasels are extremely difficult animals to photograph as they are always on the move, whether slinkering about the river banks or in the river itself. Their thick pelt allows them to stay warm in the icy waters and cold temperatures of winter.
