I came home from work one day a while back and seen what i thought was a squirrel running along my house foundation. A closer look revealed a mother weasel moving her babies, she made 6 long trips while I watched and photographed her.

Those are some wonderful captures! What a rare find - you could spend the rest of your life in prime Weasel habitat and never see anything like this again.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The weasel made it easy, 6 trips following pretty much the same path gave me a chance to get in position. Some of these were taken with the 70-200L as she was too close for the 400 at times.

And I agree with the luck for seeing this, I have been outdoors all my life and I think this was only my 3rd time seeing a weasel.
