This morning I noticed that the footbridge is actually a “plum” spot to watch beavers from!
- A plum spot to see beavers!
It was unreasonably windy and cold when the sun came up, but the view took my mind off the discomfort. The expected and the unexpected swam home this morning at 5 :30 and 5:31. I was a little surprised. This changes everything! Hold the presses! Our littlest kit-yearling (who I had nearly decided to call ‘REED’ because of his favorite building material) came home at 5:30 with a sizable branch. Less than a minute later our second larger kit came home with reeds. Maybe they build most with what they eat least?
Then the pair made some trips to the dam, adjusting branches and mudding, which was nice to see. I especially enjoyed their proximity to each other, as I think they each cue one another to keep up the good work.
After seeing two so close together I was cheerfully hopeful a third would appear. You can imagine how excited I was to see this!
And did I glare at the man jogging over the bridge at that particular moment! Sheesh! Lucky for him the mystery was shortly revealed to be a usual suspect
Nice mornings at the dam,you should come too.
I’M going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha’n’t be gone long.—You come too.
