14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
muskrat eating and bathing in VERY GREEN pond scum
I came upon a family of muskrats at a nature park pond. They were very skittish and would dive under when I approached. There was also a lot of vegetation in the way but I was finally able to get my shot! I was very excited as this was the first time I had seen muskrats in the natural world. It was an exceptionally sunny day so the only thing I had to alter was the lighting. Thanks for viewing!
