Live action--what fun. And video to boot.

the dam and its creator. 13 April 2014.

Last night my splendid wife and I decided to take a quick walk through the park, and to look at the camera. I was especially anxious to see how much damage was done to the pond by the recent rains.
As we approached the beaver pond, we both noticed water rippling.

Boy howdy, did we time it right.

The beaver was out and active. (Can you see it it the picture above placing a stick on the dam?) Too cool.

We spent several minutes watching. My wife actually saw 2 beavers. She saw the second only briefly, near the dam. The one that stayed in view placed two sticks on the dam, and some mud and leaves. We also saw it leave the pond and spend a couple minutes near the large tree that it still hasn't finished eating through. It appeared to be eating grass.
















So, I leave you with 2 videos of the beaver in it's pond.

More later.
