Almost abstract

Another denizen of the Little Colorado came along. A muskrat.

There is a wildfire burning near Reserve, NM and so we have not one but two Chinook helicopters flying out of Springerville. The one I captured returning this evening is N949CH which was here previously in supporting the suppression of the Rattlesnake fire. The fire in New Mexico has been named the Buzzard fire.
