The tide was perfect this morning, so we high tailed it down to the beaver dam and were there before sunrise. Pretty huh?
There was a cacophony of bird song and a lovely curving dam that became more visible as the day dawned.
We saw mega underwater ripples as the beavers seemed to be going back and forth across the creek without surfacing. There appears to be a hole on the far bank that they are using in addition to the mystery under the fallen tree. Finally I got some footage of the elusive fellow, and was surprised to see when I got home that another beaver emerges from the hole on the left. Of course I didn’t know he was there so I stopped filming at just the wrong time.
I think this is the very WORST video I ever took. Isn’t it wonderful?
Now here’s some fantastic NapaVision news by Rusty Cohn to hold your attention. Look at the reeds growing on that dam. It really IS Napatopia!
Of course we stopped by the mural on the way home. It is nearly across the bridge, as Mario is focusing on the layout first, so the lovely bird has flown away for a while. He’ll be back soon, don’t worry.
Everything comes back in Martinez. Didn’t you know?
