Last night’s beaver viewing was a very confirming sight of mama beaver coming out of the lodge, over the dam, under the bridge, and up on the bank. We knew it was mom because we saw the chip in her tail and guessed she was heading for her latest fix of fennel. When she returned from her foray in the grasses she was carry a long stalk of fennel AND some choice willow leaves. This she brought with singular focus under the bridge, over the dam and back into the lodge.
Looks like Mama beaver is taking care of her needs and coaxing the mystery kits to try a little solid food. It was pretty convincing proof that our beavers have even more reasons to be celebrating Mother’s Day tomorrow. If you and mom head out to the Farmer’s Market Sunday stop by and say “hi”.
