Tomorrow is President’s day and it mostly seems like we don’t even have one. I’ve been so grumpy lately I figured I might not be the only one. I thought we might need cheering, so here’s a good news story that’s sure to please.

Final batch of fishers reintroduced in habitat near Darrington

UPDATE: Four fishers were released  Thursday afternoon and “ran away really well” into habitat around Bedal Campground, about 15 miles southeast of Darrington, said Jeff Lewis, lead biologist on the program with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.  

The new animals are Neville (juvenile male), Katie (juvenile female), Kendra (adult female), and Niffler (large adult male).

Hey you know what’s really good at making fisher habitat? Of course you already guessed the answer. Beavers!

Yesterday I came across this willow fairy print and was so happy to think beavers live lives surrounded by this kind of beauty. Of course beavers are the original Willow Fairy, but this has to be a close second.
