Have you been wondering how many beavers are in the colony now? Why beavers teeth are orange? How long they can stay underwater? How old they are the first time they slap their tails? How Martinez got beavers in the first place?
Boy, are you in luck! Get your questions answered and curiosity sated this Saturday at the very first of its kind Beaver Class at Wild Birds Unlimited in Pleasant Hill. I’ll be showing original footage of our beavers, and talking about their habits and value in the environment. I promise you will see or hear things you never knew before about our beavers, and you will never once look at your watch.
The class is free and upstairs at the Pleasant Hill store, refreshments are provided and Mike and Cecil will assure you a single bird question will not go unanswered either. Stop by and gape at their amazing aviary, pick up some thistle for your goldfinches, make a few new friends and do your part to get up to date on our amazing beavers and their story.
Attentive readers will be scratching their heads thinking, wait, isn’t saturday the tree planting? And you will be right. If you crave some outdoor activity to help beavers, definitely come help Mitchell at the creek. If you are looking for more sedentary fun, come join me at Wild Birds Unlimited. We picked this date ages ago because of the timing of the new kits, and the planting just fell this weekend because of our boy scout’s schedule. We’ll march on bravely, but as always, things work much better if you help.
Our hosts would like you to R.S.V.P. at (925) 798-0303 if you would like to join this class. Don’t be shy. Have your saturday morning coffee with friends of the beavers.
