Wildlife Report

My wad of kleenex and I made our way slowly down to the creek yesterday and chose the other side this time for observations.

I could get a better look at what I can only assume is interference by the local park management of Mr. Beaver’s home improvement project.

It seems that even if you are a lowly Beaver, you cannot escape the government meddling in your affairs.

His house looks just the same, though the ditch next to it is wider and longer. I noticed he has drug two sticks over to that spot. Seems like a better place to make the house since that looks like a well thought out entrance.

I wonder if he and Mrs. Beaver are having a design dispute.

But just to show the park management who’s boss, looks like he has been spending a lot more time on his second dam just down the stream....

I figure this is the new rebel base. And judging by the size of the teeth marks on the surrounding trees, I don’t think I would like to have any confrontations with the rebel leader.


On the way back to civilization, I was walking along the sidewalk and heard a soft cooing noise. I stopped and listened carefully.

A small group of doves was in the old broken down peach tree,[which actually had a few peaches on it this year by the way], taking an afternoon snooze.

I counted six, and a possible seventh, which I could be talked out of, but still think I see.

What’s your opinion?

    Busy Beaver ! I count 7 Doves.I really got my Deed done with a change in doctors, it sure has made life better big time. Urology has made some great advances and there is HOPE at last.

    Well, I know I can see six, but if that one in the crotch of the tree is actually two, then it's seven, seven doves! HAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Oh, sorry. I was apparently channeling The Count from Sesame Street.

    I'm really glad Mr. Beaver is still there. I wish the park people would just leave him alone. He's not hurting anything by just living his little beaver life. If he's working on a new dam, he and the missus are probably discussing moving closer to it. Nobody really likes having to commute.

    Nope, I only see six. There might be a seventh, smaller bird in there as well, but it's not a dove and I'm not even convinced it's a bird.

    May you and Mr. Beaver have a great New Year.

    OK, I see the potential seventh dove. I still think it's just a branch at an odd angle, but I wouldn't swear to it.
