To ride on mom’s back in the beaver world, apparently. Last night a kit saw her approach and swam to hitch a lift. It was very sweet to see Mom and Junior together, sharing treats. All three kits made an appearance and only Dad was too sneaky to show his face. Some appreciative diners came down for the beaver show and were rewarded with a full stand in the water and a nice glimpse of orange teeth.

Haven’t seen mom go for any fennel yet, but its about ten days before observed it last year. Mom is looking very round indeed, and we are fairly certain she’s pregant. Check out the video in the sidebar and pause a moment to remember that we are heading for the anniversary of the presentation of the beaver subcommittee report. You remember, the meeting where the council refused to vote and Mary Tappel said the beavers were leaving?
