My First Confirmed Beaver Sighting

I have lived on Union Bay for just over nine years (give or take a few months during that stretch of time). Long ago my landlord had blessed my ears with far-fetched rumors about local beavers and the havoc they wreaked on fruit trees. I never saw any of the supposed damage myself, but the fence in the photo was actually put up by my landlords in the beaver’s “honor.”





On May 8th, the beaver ceased to exist merely as a figment of my wonderful landlord’s imagination. I was very happy I had enough time to grab my camera and get the one money shot I needed to prove it, though – to myself and to all of my friends who also believed in the Union Bay beavers as mere figments of both my landlord’s and my imagination. They are real.
