Shrew on a Shoe!

Kudos to @NYSDEC for the amazing photo by Rhyan Maier on the back cover of the Aug/Sept issue of the Conservationist. It inspired me to pen a commemorative poem:

A day so mild, and a sky so blue, / But look! Something weird is on your shoe. / Now just one photo, then shake that shrew, / ‘Cause those things have venomous spit! (Who knew?)

Good job, Rhyan Maier! We may never see a photo like this again.
