It’s OGNS! (Only good news Sunday) And we have a whopping dose for you this morning. Starting with on of my favorite beaver stories in history. Ever. Sure, it’s not exactly well written, and it describes a dam washout in the usual hyperbolic way, but it’s where the dam washed out that matters. I mean sometimes you just feel the hand of fate is playing tether ball with you.
Seriously.
Large beaver dam on county-owned land in Perryman draws local ire
Beavers are unmatched in the animal kingdom at being able to alter and control their environment – unless, that is, they run into an environment already controlled by humans.
That’s what happened recently on a piece of Harford County-owned land in Perryman, where a resident reported the most intense beaver dam he has seen in three decades.
The local beavers’ hard work at a small lake on Forest Green Road, off of Perryman Road, has created a headache for residents and the county has begun dismantling their efforts.
Not only is the ruptured beaver dam in Perryman, Maryland (which I never knew existed btw) but it’s on frickin’ Perryman ROAD! For extra measure the article even goes on to talk about the good that beavers do for other wildlife. I have always said that I don’t really have ‘good luck’ or ‘bad luck’ – I have GREEK DRAMA luck! Coincidences that couldn’t possibly be explained in real life just happen in mine both good and ill. I have no idea why. But this is a fine culmination of a career saving beavers. Don’t you agree?
More predictable good news comes from Bay Nature Magazine where our beaver festival ad is nicely placed this year. Combined With our Community focus, and Water bill ads my fingers are crossed we have a great turnout.
The third piece of good news is the VERY BEST of course. I’ve been told to give him or her time to get bigger before I blast it all over the press and facebook, but you folks are true beaver believers and I know it’s safe to tell you because no one but crazy beaver people would EVER read this site.
Check out their 2017 model. It’s a fairly dark photo because in the beginning the parents are very cautious and don’t let kits outside until the coast is clear. But look at that adorable face, straight tail and bright eye. I believe Napa gets a cigar.
