Beaver. Last night (May 2), across the road in the ponds.
This was shot in poor light at ISO 3,200. I will try to get a full body shot including its tail. Shall see.
- We've been here 20 years and never seen a beaver here.
- Apparently it has been here about one year and seems to be alone.
- No idea how it got here the park is 20 km to the Oldman River ... no, not named after me
. There are irrigation canals and he might have worked his way to our ponds over a few weeks. - If there is just one, fine. If there ends up being a family, they will have to be removed as they are highly destructive. They chop down trees (even large trees) and there are not a lot of trees in the park.
- The is a smallish beaver and probably a young one...perhaps the size of a small dog. Larger than a Yorkie. Smaller than a beagle.
