I was searching around for images of ponds. I came across this lovely one that seemed to be missing someone important. Ahem.
I posted it on FB and said as much. Which prompted our beaver friend Art Wolinsky of New Hamshire to fix it with photoshop. Much better.
My enthusiasm must have egged him on because then he put this short film together.I liked it so much I talked him into adding the last bit. I think you’ll know why.
We are having quite an adventure in beaver-less Mendocino. (Some were introduced in little river in the 20’s but they have mostly died off or were killed. We did see one beaver once on Big River nearly 20 years ago when we were canoeing. And were rewarded with are very first tail slap.
Ahh memories.
No beavers now, but we did have a special visitor yesterday, which I was told by Megan Isadore of the River Otter Ecology Project is a Sheep Moth. Isn’t she beautiful?
