I’m talking real weasels, not the metaphorical kind who always seem to be in the men’s room when it’s their turn to buy a round of beers. I’ve never seen one in the wild, or even on somebody’s blog, until the past two days, when I’ve seen two (two posts; might be the same critter).

One was spotted yesterday on the Tomales Point Trail by Dave Miller of the recently discovered Bay Area Outdoors and Beyond Blog. He also got to see some real life elk combat (though his photographic luck is about like mine — fuzzy in the clutch).

The other was on hardcore Oakland hiker Timecheck’s blog. He also saw a skunk, and his hiking partner captured a nifty video of the weasel, bobbing and weaving.
