The door is open



When I visited the marsh the day after Christmas, I didn't see much wildlife activity, but I did notice this particular muskrat lodge (top photo), which seems to have an above-ground entrance (usually the entrances are underwater). The shot at the bottom is the same lodge when it was in its early stages of construction, back on November 30th. I think the muskrats must do their lodge building in the early morning or around dusk (apparently their most active times) as I've never noticed any building going on during the daytime.
