Didn’t see any beaver while walking along the Columbia River yesterday (November, 2020) but saw lots of signs of their activities. See the beaver run from the beach to where they were cutting shrubs and small trees to haul to their winter stash.
Beavers are always fun to watch. My daughter Linnea took these two photos, love the one scratching his chin.
