Jordan Lake: How about, instead of feathers, I share this cute furry little guy? I do believe, if iNaturalist figured it out correctly, this is a Hispid cotton rat. Cute as he could be. Size would about fill my hand – he is a small rodent. I just never know what friend of the Jordan Lake Neighborhood I will meet on a morning’s walk.
