Quoting Mary Macaulay <marymacaulay@hotmail.com>:
> The tree looks like black locust
* I'd say Honey Locust, Gleditsia triacanthos - the pods and leaflets
are too long for black Locust.

>> While out in the back woods camping we encountered a mouse to what
>> we thought was bathing on a dam. I went and got my 400mm and
>> watched and photographed it for about a half hour and noticed that
>> it was actually eating something, maybe the algae on the wood. It
>> would duck under the falling water, dive in and swim in water and
>> popping around on the rocks. in one picture after I got home on the
>> computer I noticed that there seems to be some sort of insect on
>> the side of board, see third image down, a whitish insect. The
>> mouse spent quite a bit of time in that spot but also alot putting
>> it's head under the falling water and running up the dam. Very
>> intertaining and puzzling.
>>
>> What kind of mouse or mole is it and is this normal behavior?
* I'd say a Water Shrew, Sorex palustris, which would make the
behaviour unexceptional, though it's always a blessing to be able to
see a Water Shrew.
