I've seen it surface a few times over the past month or so but it never stayed above water long enough for me to get a good look at it so I wasn't sure if it was a large snapping turtle or something else.
Today, it finally cooperated with me and, even though I did have to shoot from the hip camera wise (hence the somewhat poor quality), I was able to get a close enough shot of him to figure out it is, in fact, a muskrat.
Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a better photo down the road.
