There is one slow-moving stream in Ottawa’s Andrew Haydon Park where Terry and I have stopped to watch turtles swimming, on one occasion - and frogs croaking and jumping, on another.
I wonder if there are any turtles around, I commented to Terry as we approached the edge of the stream…
No turtles or frogs this time, but… “What’s that?!” Terry asked, pointing…
That looks like a rat. I didn’t know rats swam…
Maybe that’s a MUSKRAT!
Eventually it crawled into a hole under the reeds.
When we got home, I googled “muskrats”… Now I’m certain that’s what we saw!
