There are three fine things to share this morning. The first is that Roland Dumas just posted grand photos of his first beaver sighting in Napa this season and I knew you’d want to share.
Isn’t that splendid? I well remember that after the shut-ins of winter we would start to see our beavers again in april and may. It is very likely that if there are kits they are already born or nearly so. Ahh memories.
The second good thing is that we had lots of fun going through the beaver scrapbooks to scan articles for the grad student and seeing this again, which was just about the most polite and simultaneously provoking thing I ever wrote in my life. I’m so proud.
2020-04-14 14-34Ahh the basking! But like any good Catholic I saved the best for last. Because guess what Martinez resident I do not know posted Monday on Facebook?
This was seen Monday morning around 7 am near Starbucks. I especially got excited by the second image, which shows this is an adult beaver. Not likely a lost disperser, but somebody with a significant other somewhere.
Keep a lookout, Martinez. These are strange days and anything could happen!
