"LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE"

Beaver (North American) - 7 Photos

Having watched this beaver in its Winter/Spring Wonderland, I came to the conclusion that there is at least one more mammal more clumsy going through the snow than a photographer, and that's the Castor canadenis or the North American beaver.

But the lure of willow on a small island was like a trip to the candy store. So many choices. It just had to be the right one. And maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I swear this beaver is smiling (Photo #1 through Photo #3). He/she certainly has bright eyes.

Having chosen the perfect candidate (Photo #4), it was off through the snow (Photo #5) and back to the water to enjoy Nature's bounty.

Having enjoyed a great meal, what better time than to take some time out for a quick shake & a groom (Photo #6 & Photo #7).
