This morning I watched two beavers come over the dam, and then noticed what looked like a really tall beaver down stream. I couldn’t imagine how a beaver could get his head so high up out of the water but thought maybe I had just mistaken a couple ducks or something. Then this popped out of the secondary dam….
Just in case you were wondering whether our ponds have any fish left, he’s here to assure you that they do. As I watched him snake under the bridge and writhe gracefully upstream I wondered what the beavers would think of this intruder eating breakfast in the middle of their tide-soaked dam. The rascal slipped along from bank to bank and as I watched I was very pleased to understand that the mystery of the TALL BEAVERS had been solved.
Oh and if beavers and otters aren’t inspiring enough for you, Jean sent this video which I promise will be the best thing you have watched all year. Maybe ever.
