A Weasels Welcome

I found this little guy living in the rocks on my way down a steep rocky embankment to the river below .... I would never have seen him If I had not been so cautiously serveying my surrounding to find a safe route down .... Sometimes it just pays to slow down .

It was a fairly dark day .... and sluggish shudder speeds and Weasels are not a good combination ..... I got a few .... Oops! there's no weasel in the pic .... Boy! are they fast!! .... The little guy was kind enough to hold still and pose for a few shots .

A Weasels Welcome ..........

I love it. and weasels. I didn't see any this year, but did see a few mink and yeah, they are lightning fast. No pics though. Funny that this one has molted already. Seems early, but what do I know about weasel timetables?

What a cutie! An albino. Weasels aren't normally white are they?

Regular weasels shed their fur each fall and spring...white for winter, brown for summer - like ptarmigan. Skunks and mink don't change color and neither do fishers or wolverines I'm pretty sure, although they are all weasels. I'm not sure about ferrets...maybe some change color.
