NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY/INSPIRATION
Fascinating Facts and Ecological Contributions of Beavers
A Personal Encounter with Nature’s Engineers
“The beaver told the rabbit as they stared at the Hoover Dam: No, I didn’t build it myself, but it’s based on an idea of mine.” — Charles Hard Townes
After a recent heavy rain event, I ventured out to a local lake in my community and was pleasantly surprised to see a beaver in the water.
Upon first seeing it, I was initially unsure if it was an otter or a beaver. However, after doing some research, I was able to confirm that it was indeed a beaver.
This is not the first time I have seen a beaver, but I was lucky enough to photograph this elusive creature this time around. Over the past decade, I have only spotted them two or three times in my area. As a nature enthusiast, capturing photographic evidence of them was a real treat.
This rare sighting inspired me to further explore these fascinating creatures and their impact on our environment.
