I was able to see and watch this bird for 45 minutes. I could have watched longer but my dog was getting antsy.
The bird pulled so many fish, crayfish and little minnows from the pond. I never would have guessed so much fish lived in the pond.
A great eater he was. Ate way more than any bird I saw of like species. Very cool !
Check out the reflection in last photo. Is it a reflection or original bird flipped upside down?!

Seeing the bird up close was a great time.
The bird was curious about me and he checked me out very well.

Swimming and eating early in the evening. 5:37 pm. I love the colours reflected in the water where s/he swam. The younger beavers were out while the adult beavers stayed in their lodging/damn. Kits. I had used the term pups for young beavers but when I looked it up I learned the correct terminology is kit. Kits. Pups is used by numerous people, which is acceptable by some , but definitely called kit(s).
I loved watching these two being active. Especially because they are out during some daylight for being my models. Cool models.

It was the third time I was able to watch this bird. I assume it's the same one; s/he was NOT bothered by me being close to him, at all!
When he walked a little further away I went closer to him again. At one point he walked towards me!! So very cool! When he saw he went close to me he moved away (almost running) to the reed and grasses. He didn't like the area, mostly muddy, and walked back towards me. He never came as close as the bottom photo again.
A real honour for me to have this bird so close !

Beavers
September 6, 2026
Calgary, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦
I had taken the bridge home from my walk when I see the beaver on the river bank again.
I’d taken photos of the beaver from the bridge the week before and didn’t like the view. Nothing to write home about 😌
I go down to the river and see the beaver up close. One of the closest experiences ever !!
I’m thrilled that she stayed in place chewing away. No stress at all. I see another beaver swim up behind her and think it’s her partner. NO! Baby is there. Since she hadn’t reacted to me being there baby stayed and gnawed on the twig her Mom gave her. I was so thrilled to see the baby. It had started to walk up to the shrubs near me but a couple who came to see what I was photographing scared her into the water. Know not male nor female. The baby went down the river to look for more to chew. By this time the sun had set 20 minutes earlier and my camera wouldn’t click. I had tried flash photography the previous year with the beavers and it sent them down the river. I decided to try the highest iso setting and caught baby swimming around the river. Past me and back down the river. The couple had left by then and baby was willing to try the shrubs again When I got up to let her by she went down the bank to the river.
An absolute honour and pleasure to see baby for almost 30 minutes. Momma beaver was around me for 15 minutes. The best experience for me.
I see the next day what one of the beavers did …a downed shrub trunk. Originally I thought the rain made the leaves too heavy and split it down only to see the chips from the beaver’s work on the ground. Now I know why the city puts up so much wire !! I’d questioed if every tree needs protection and the answer is YES! A little hike off the river is where she gnawed on the shrub. I’m thinking baby is too small to chew the thicker trunk. Especially seeing the twig in these photos!

Momma Beaver gets her own post.
