I caught my first sighting of one of the beavers since the lake froze over! March 10th. So excited! I love seeing them down by the lodge. Sometimes it seems as though they come up to check out the humans and glide under again really quietly. It seems as though, if you're not watching carefully, you can almost miss them. They are really quiet unless they feel threated and then they snap their tails on top of the later.
They really are such beautiful animals. I know that some people complain about the damage the beavers are doing to the trees, but it is wonderful to see them up close and be able to observe them.
Some fun beaver facts :-
* Beavers teeth are orange
* Beavers don't just build dams, they build lodges too
* Lodges can have multiple underwater entrances. Their living quarters are above the water line.
* Beavers modify their habitat
