Crazy Muskrat!

[Taffy]

This afternoon we were hiking along a stream by one of our hay fields and I saw the craziest thing. A muskrat was "herding" 3 Mallard ducks up the stream! He would zigzag back and forth pushing them forward. He charged the drake and made it fly off. Then he kept herding the two hens until they finally flew off. After that he swam back down the stream and disappeared. All I can figure is he thought the ducks were too close to his home. I've never seen anything like it before! Crazy muskrat!
