Taking Meisa for her walk, I counted eight nutrias on the far side of the beaver pond. Meisa was in no mood to stick around and watch; the grass gets her paws wet and she had business to attend to. So, off we went.

On the way back, I stopped to snap a couple of pictures. By then, a few had already skedaddled.

What wildlife do you see in your neighborhood?

I believe these are nutria instead of muskrats because of their size. As I’m not a professional nutritionist, I’m not sure.
