Lester the beaver must move as dam causes concerns in Ottawa’s south end

 

Now wait a minute, I’m so old that I remember that the mayor of Ottawa promised our friend Anita to “move the beavers”and then sent the film of the happily grown up kits living in safety. He sent the letter a month after they were captured and the footage showed them at least 6 months older.

And hey beaver relocation isn’t even LEGAL in Canada. Could the city be lying? Shocking!

Well they have their hands full and I will see who I can write and encourage or threaten, But mostly I want to tell you Fairfield’s Very Very good news yesterday morning. Just look what got seen by Penelope Parra the VP of the Laurel Creek Beavers yesterday,

 

Here’s what she said about her sighting. You will want to read every magical word.

This morning, I went to the Beaver Lodge at 545 in this morning. I was so so thrilled, I saw the Kit swimming around by himself. Then I spoke softly to him and he swam over to me super close. Then to my surprise, the momma beaver came over and splashed me. Then the kit did not leave, so momma beaver picked up the kit and swam close to where I was standing and gently put him down in the water In front of where I was standing.

I told her what a beautiful baby and what a good momma. She and the kit played by me, she taught him how to climb up the lodge. She took off and swam towards Heretic Dam I just have to share and share these pics with you. I am hopeful this will keep the city from destroying the beaver dam as there is a baby Kit in the water adorable.
