the Beavers were out, we saw 2 babies and the one we think is the mom. The mom is the one snagging willow branches from where it hangs over the water. It would also appear the beavers really need a little teeth whitening.

We lived in Canada when I was a kid and I was always fascinated by beavers – great post!
we have this family in a park downtown. its the last place you would expect to see beavers, but they just do their own thing.
