Long-tailed Weasel

I know, this is a lousy photo, but it was all I could get this afternoon. (I do have much better photos uploaded of a different Long-tailed Weasel, taken in a local park). I was walking through a special area where there are usually ducks, cranes, etc. when the water is not frozen, when I suddenly saw a flash of white. This tiny Weasel darted for cover under the boardwalk on which I was standing. Curiosity became just too much for it, and it peeked out for a quick second. Despite waiting patiently, no more photo chances : ). Such a teeny, cute animal that has perhaps made a home for itself in the Zoo grounds. I LOVE seeing these in the wild on the very rare occasion.
