"TREE CLIMBER"

"Long Tailed Weasel (3 Photos)

"Symphony in White #2" with the adult Trumpeter Swan will appear next week.

Some days you can have a great walk but not many subjects "available" for photographs and then other days all those hours can pay off.

I had seen this Long Tailed Weasel two days in a row but it was on a mission, not stopping more than a "blink" and then today, something very unexpected happened.

It did not pause on a fallen tree or log but climbed up a tree (and that answers that question of "Can Weasels Climb Trees?" and checked out a hole. There was a flicker at the top of the tree but no action there. 

So not only a deadly predator with one of the cutest faces in the woods but an aerial acrobat as well. So much for only looking on the ground and into hollow logs for this little member of the Mustalid family but will have to look up as well.
