Well this is ironic.
I am working with Bruce Mushrush the designer who has been kind enough to agree to set up the website for the CA beaver summit. He is the man who started this very website of his own accord lo these any years ago and happens to be the husband of Georgette Howington of the bluebird recovery program that brightens our every festival every year. After agreeing on the domain name and some other details he sent me some stock photos he has access too and wondered whether they’d work. Guess how many were Nutria.
Go ahead guess.
Not his fault in any way of course. They were clearly labeled as photos of beavers. And most people aren’t freaks of nature that spend hours looking at images of actual beavers so they know the difference. Nutria, groundhog, muskrat, even a capybara. And these are photos you PAY FOR. Now we know why all the media outlets use the wrong photos all the dam time. I said no no no. We have the very best photos and we don’t need to use anyone else’s. Suzi very nicely offered for us to use hers and Cheryl’s are perfect. Hopefully Rusty will help too.
Stock footage of wanna beavers. Sheesh!
