I love that! Especially in times when large rodents like creatures are often disease carriers, even though more likely they are lab victims, I love seeing appreciation for the beavers as detoxifiers of our waters.

Thanks, Lily. I learn so much about the wildlife as I write about them, and as much as I exaggerate their characteristics and habits, I find them remarkable and fascinating.

I totally get that! We have a blond-tailed squirrel that we make jokes about. My kids are often amused because I go "awww" over bumble bees they most people reserve for puppies, and the other day a finch pressed its nose to two of my windows in the manner I had only learned two days earlier hummingbirds do when you get them used to getting sugar water and they haven't got the fix they expect yet!

Hi Charles! News about the Big Nickel in Sudbury (from a native, unfortunately). M. Robideau got it wrong. Oddly enough, there is no beaver on the Big Nickel.
