Beaver at work
Another look at the beaver that entertained us recently while we were crossing upstream from their primary dam.
Buoy ahead
Beaver incoming!
We were crossing the stream where the beavers have their current set of dams when one of them came steaming toward us.

Osprey looking at you
If you are a fish, this could be the last thing you ever see.
Osprey mom on duty
On the other side of the Great Marsh is an osprey nest that has typically sponsored a family every year as far back as anyone can remember. This year is no different. We think this is a mom sitting on her eggs. She stays put even when anyone walks by. Another osprey, presumed to be the dad, is frequently seen nearby.
