Beaver friend and columnist for the Examiner Christine McLaughlin, alerted me to her recent writing on our beavers yesterday. You might remember Christine from her entry on Suite101 where she described the animals and gave us for a link. I’ve been nudging Christine to come out and see for herself, and apparently she took the plunge.

Up close and personal with the beavers of Martinez

If you have never been introduced to one of wildlife’s greatest ambassadors, go visit the folks at Martinez Beavers and get up close and personal with the original engineer.

Good places for beaver viewing is at the Escobar, Marina Vista and Amtrak Station footbridges. Remember, beavers are nocturnal, so your best bet to catch some action is to show up in the early mornings or late evenings.

From 680: Exit at Marina Vista and go downtown to Castro Street.
From Hwy 4: Exit Alhambra Ave., go downtown and make a right onto Marina Vista. Make another right onto Escobar.

Ahhhh thank you, Christine! I wonder when you came and what you saw? Our beavers have been dam busy lately, so you might have seen quite a lot.
