First we hear their sounds. It takes time to zero in on a location. Even then, we had to look very carefully to find them in plain sight.

The bull frogs were in full force over at the far bog while the beavers were asleep or working elsewhere.

Last week, when we approached the bog where the beavers have set up, we spotted this scene on the other side of the trail.

On a mid-week late evening, we visited the far bog where beavers are making their latest local community. Not every visit leads to any excitement but we were lucky this day. This beaver suspected we were around but apparently wasn’t sure where. I caught this image as he paddled toward us. Moments later he saw us and with a tremendous slap with his tail, went deep while simultaneously reversing direction.
