Thanks Geodialist! This picture was taken with a Nikon D7000 body, at the long end of a Nikon 70-300 VR lens, hand held from a kayak. Unfortunately I'm travelling at the moment and don't have access to the EXIF data, but it would have been a fast shutter speed. Now I didn't "unfav" the muskrat! I am a fan of all rodents:-) But it has indeed disappeared from my list of favourites. I am not sure that you can "unfav" spottings but I will play with it. In any case this is a glitch and I will signal it to Peter and Yasser. Now I will "refav" the muskrat!
Awesome photo, Daniele! Two technical questions: 1) What photo gear did you use? 2) What were the camera settings, e.g., f-stop, shutter speed, etc.? Unrelated topic: Last night I took a quick look at the PN Home page. I noticed you favorited my "Common Muskrat" spotting. I don't see your avatar on the muskrat spotting page this morning -- did you unfavorite my spotting? (Is that possible?) Weird stuff!
Thanks IvánDurán!

Thank you Atul and LauraMaria! It was one of those lucky moments... the second bird made all the difference.
