Is there no privacy?

On one of the sunny day last week I took my first walk of the season around my beloved Island Lake sanctuary only to round the bend and intrude on this muskrat in his/her morning toilette. Later I spied this little critter swimming way across the lake, presumably scrounging for breakfast and nest material.
