Hi folks , todays efforts turned up this pair of beaver's , I am not really sure if this is an adult and Kit , or a pair of mates.

I have been watching this area knowing that they where here , the other evening I heard the familiar slap of a tail on the water as I was walking by it was right around sunset. mostly they do not come out till the sun is very low in the sky , this area is frequented by many people so it is not likely that I will ever get to see these two up on the bank any time before night fall. I have located some tracks farther up river though that may see a more complete picture.

after this shot I made a try at getting around the shoots of grass but startled them when I moved , they came back out of their lodge in about ten minutes , it was kind of neat to see cause I could see the bubble trails from both of them as they swam to the log that they surface at.

I will be seeing more of this pair over the next few months.

hope that you like it.

Regards

Art

Hello Art, I sure like this picture and the interesting notes too. I really like that you captured both of them in water, from their side, it's almost a silhouette. I will follow the pictures of them if you post some more for sure! By the way, I think the light is real nice in this picture, thank you!
