Short-Tailed Weasel (Stoat)

I don't know who was more surprised - Kirsty when the stoat dropped its freshly killed lunch (chipmunk) at her feet, or the stoat who suddenly found itself in the presence of humans and down one lunchtime snack. After running away, it reconsidered its loss, and darted back, grabbed the limp chipmunk and scuttled off. Needless to say, I did not get a picture in time.
