As the crow flies beaver swims, MVSD is not far away at all from the Alhambra Creek home of our beloved family. But just a few miles southeast is the home of Mountain View Sanitation District, which is such a haven for wildlife they have been w0rking with the River Otter Ecology Project to have night cameras spot their otter visits. Looking at hours of footage every day has made Karen Marie James aware that otters aren’t the only thing using their ponds and slough.
This summer she recorded an entire beaver family!
Yesterday she posted this lovely photo on FB. Karen often says she has the very best job In the world, and looking at this I believe her. This beaver is hurrying down Peyton Slough going North from the MVSD property to the Shell property. She looks like she’s in a hurry too! Check to that wake, her very wide eye and her obvious speed.
My guess is Karen snapped this in the morning when she got to work. And young Cinderella realized she stayed too late at the ball!
