Streets in the pond




I didn't get to the marsh until Sunday evening (the 24th), as I picked raspberries in the morning when I usually walk (and made jam in the afternoon). Those of you who walk the marsh may have noticed the paths through the duckweed in the frog pond (top photo here). I assumed they were made by the muskrats that live in the pond. I had just snapped the photo when sure enough, I noticed one swim into the path at the bottom right. He swam along the path, even executing a sharp turn as shown in the bottom photo. They obviously are creatures of habit.
