Marlborough Forest. As I was walking along the trail I noticed a slight movement out of the corner of my eye. Stopping, saw a little hole under a cedar tree and thought a chipmunk might have popped down. I waited, thinking the chipmunk, if that is what it was, might pop out again. Instead, out popped this short-tailed weasel! It was not the slightest bit upset, and continued to go in and out of the tunnel which led to an opening on the side of the cedar. It popped out of one hole, then the other, and eventually emerged altogether and ran along a log before vanishing. I waited for quite some time, but it never returned. I'm always amazed at how tiny these creatures are, every time I see them up close.
