Little River Critters

We spotted a baby muskrat and two young deer while paddling along the Little River today. We startled the muskrat and it swam across the river right in front of us. Look closely for the deer on the left bank in the patch of purple pickerelweed flowers. Unfortunately the deer ran away before I could line up a good shot, but a nice encounter nonetheless.
