Beavers all over the Bay Area. That’s what we’re looking for. As many beavers as there are people to save them. This weekend I heard about a new dam in the actual Walnut Creek between Monument Blvd and Bancroft in Concord.
I’ve known folks are seeing one or two beavers out that way over the last couple years, and we know a beaver was hit by a car near Mohr lane and taken to Lindsey wildlife a while back, but I wasn’t expecting this:
Wait what? How many beavers?
Five? Five beavers on the bank? Looks to me like one adult and four 5-6 month old kits. I guess from this year’s birth. How is that possible?
What are they doing? They aren’t grooming, They appear to be browsing. But what on earth is there for them to be eating in all that dead grass?
Where do they live? How do they live? Should we assume these are kits with mom? Where is Dad? Is he just a beaver that got lucky or unlucky and went off looking for other pastures? Is he downstream?
These questions must be answered. We must know. There must be a tail cam installed. They are so dark. Almost black. Our beavers were brown. Does this mean they are not our decendents?
5 new beavers to worry about.
Ohhhhhh.
