Muskrat

Ondatra zibethicus

Habitat:

Creek running through aqueduct under the Hennepin Canal.

Notes:

I found this little guy right at dusk, so high ISOs and a lots of exposure tweaking, so sorry for the quality. I watched him for about 20 minutes gather grass, run back to the creek, wash it, and then back again. He submerged giving me some time to get closer. He popped up right in front of me and crossed my path about 5 feet away.
