The chill from this beautiful early morning didn’t send the beavers in early. The two kits were still out bringing little twigs to the dam. The water is deep enough now that they can sneak under water for a distance with only the wake from their movement giving them away. After they finally went in for the day a Great Egret stood guard over the dam and hunted for breakfast. He repeatedly lunged at the reeds and twigs below the dam and eventually came up with a mouse to eat.
