Someone wrote me yesterday about how sorry they were to find a dead beaver on the shoreline back in December. They were wistful about finding live beaver and being able to watch them.
I personally was delighted. Point Pinole is in the middle of San Pablo Bay which is just a short hop from Marin where they are waiting impatiently for their beaver delivery. Although we don’t know where this little guy died in transit of was washed downstream in a storm I’m going to take it as a good sign.
