"SHADOW PLAY"

Weasel (Long Tailed) - 3 Photos

Little weasel had retreated into the shade with a grove of shrubbery & trees so it made clear shots a little difficult.

However, as she kindly waited to have her portrait taken and what she had accomplished in the minutes prior, I felt this young weasel deserved "Photo of the Week".

Had been a little concerned in that in the time I have seen her over that last couple of weeks, I had seen a lot of hunting but no results. However, today she made her mother proud. The "little darling" had weaseled her way passed me, came out with a rodent and made a dash through the grass with her catch. Not my best catch but certainly the weasel's. Check out Photo #3 and the size of the rodent against the weasel's head.

I assume she had stashed her catch and to quote that old Southern saying, "She looked as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs"! :)
