Yesterday was quite a day for wildlife moments. With the warm temperature, it really got the critters active. We saw the otter in the morning along with some geese. Then as it was getting dark, I saw something else swimming around out there. I figured it was the otter again, but nope, it was a beaver, possibly Barney. A little while later I could see it up on the ice. But it wasn’t just one, there were two of them and it appeared they were preening each other. Here’s a couple pictures, but remember it was getting dark and they were out a ways, so the picture quality isn’t the best.
And one from the trail cam. I cropped this one so you could see the beavers out on the ice a little better.

Excellent shots.

@ Toodie…the birdhouse back there is made of birch bark. When we walk in freshly logged areas, it’s common to find big pieces of it. Lots of times it curls up inside out like this piece. I’ll send you a better picture of it.@Sherry. No snow, but there’s still ice on the pond. That’s the white stuff out there.
