For 3 nights show time started around 6:30. All of a sudden one or both beavers appear on the ice and I rushed out with my camera, missing Wheel of Fortune and started taking pictures of them. Here’s what the pond looked like Monday night. There’s open water around the edges, the beaver lodge is on the upper right side and the dam is over on the left side, out of this picture. Anyway…that dot on the ice is one of the two beavers that hang around out there.
Here’s a better picture of it. 
As I was standing on the hill taking these pictures, I heard another one slap it’s tail on the water giving the warning sign to the other beaver. That surprised the hell out of me because at the time, I didn’t know there was another one out there. So I stood around taking more pictures of the one on the ice and all of a sudden the other one swims out from under it! How cool is that? The two of them hung around for awhile and finally one swims back under the ice over towards the dam. I decide to go over there to see if I could get some closer pictures. I wasn’t disappointed! That’s him swimming next to the dam.
And then I zoomed in on the little bugger.
He swam back and forth a couple times, checking me out then finally he slapped his tail on the water and disappeared again. I decided I had enough pictures and called it a night.
We’re amazed at how much wildlife we’ve seen in just one week. Wait until I get my next wildlife moment written up. It’s a winner and there will be pictures!

Oh, I can hardly wait. I just love these pictures and reports. That we have a swan, an eagle, (and even a coyote and fox last year) among all the ducks and geese is usually more than we ever see here.

My daughter had a wildlife moment of her own in the city! There was a wolf spotted on her street and she thought she saw it go right past her basement window,lol.
