"MASQUERADING WEASEL" - Part 1

(Long Tailed Weasel) - 3 Photos

Apologies, Mink! You've been sidelined  today.

This little weasel actually played hide & seek with me for almost 15 minutes. An eternity in weasel photo time. So far, that's an event not repeated. After a few minutes, I did get concerned and stepped back to allow sufficient space for the little weasel to exit. And what does he do. he follows me to wherever I moved!

There will be a few blogs starring this little mustelid. Depending on light and pose, he seemed to transform into various animals.

So firstly, we have the "Long Tailed Mountain Lion Weasel". Lying in wait from the top of his rocky hideout, (a boulder of about 18 inches high), he surveys the surrounding creek looking for the unsuspecting wildlife photographer :)
