Like a beaver adaption of a Thomas Hardy novel the beavers were seduced by mountains of fresh strawberries last night which were dumped by an unknown source at the dam. Although Worth A Dam generally supports supplemental feeding with only natural food, this misadventure created a unique photo opportunity for our starlets, and they weren’t about to miss out. Earlier in the evening, Jon spied a pond turtle attempting to sample the strawberries but unable to get a hold of one. The beavers had no such difficulties, and even developed a skill for holding one in their mouth while eating a second. See for yourself. Photos by Cheryl Reynolds.
