From Guest Blogging Martinez Resident and Long-time Beaver Fan Lory Bruno:
As we were driving into town last night around 8:00 PM, after picking up our grand kids in Williams, we decided to stop by to see if the beavers were out. We all were treated to a great show. One baby beaver was out swimming around near the Escobar bridge and he even came up on the bank to nibble some leaves. Soon Jr. came swimming down from the Main Street side bringing home a branch of treats. After a while, we decided to move down to the big dam, where we saw Mom with one of the new kits on her back swimming around while Dad just watched over things. Dad swam back to the lodge and Mom and baby crossed over the dam and proceed to go down to the second dam to join Jr, who had gone by before. The grand kids were so excited that they actually saw some beavers. We have all been down to the site before without any luck.
We also were treated to a show of a duck family swimming around and we were so surprised to see how big the ducklings have gotten. Joining the ducks were two beautiful white geese who have been hanging around the creek and also up at Star Bucks. The beavers really have created a wonderful natural habitat for so many birds and animals. We all came home thankful that we took the time to stop and check in on our Martinez Beavers.
