Finding a drink of water has been a bit of a challenge of late for those in the wildlife community, as this muskrat was observed lapping up a cold swig from frozen Deep Creek Lake this week. The little furry fellow was watched and photographed by John Mogle, Salisbury, and family, and the photo was submitted by John's brother Tom Mogle, who resides in Cumberland. The Mogles were staying in a rental unit along old Rt. 219/Deep Creek Drive. The muskrat was spotted on the ice where the roadway crosses a small patch of the lake. "We kept tabs on the fella the entire holiday weekend," said John Mogle. The high temperature for every day of December until this week has remained below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but a warm-up – with some rain – if forecast for the next few days.
