Mary Morgan sent along this photo of a mysterious animal in the bay. She said its tail was long and skinny, and it appeared to be black, although it could have just looked dark in the water.
She said it was swimming about where the shallow water hits the deeper water, and that it kept diving under and then surfacing.

Do we have our very own Old Mission Loch Ness Monster? Tim’s and my initial guess is a muskrat. We used to see a lot of them around Old Mission when I was a kid, and there’s actually one around our place on Bluff Road right now.
What do you guys think? Muskrat? Or Old Mission Loch Ness Monster?
Here’s a picture of a muskrat.
SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette

It could be one of the Lake Michigan migrating whales that got a little too close to the peninsula.
Oh yeah! Good call. 🙂 – jb
Could be an otter.
