I keep returning to the spot where I saw the icebreaking beaver, but although there is often evidence of activity, the beaver has not been seen again—not seen, that is, until today. He was seen on a snow bank high above the lake as he sampled trees and twigs in his larder.
I say, he, but the few of us who watch this beaver really hope that he is a she and that springtime will result in kits.
A beaver munches on a twig while keeping a wary eye on the one-eyed observer (the beaver merely sees a lens).
Haha, he/she does look somewhat perturbed at the one-eyed observer.
Very informative photo of the beaver. I appreciate it.
Amazing close up.
