The Beaver
We went to Algonquin National Park in search of a moose this weekend. We did not see one and that's a regret. But as we were standing on the shore of the lake near our cabin, a beaver just walked out from the brush about 15 feet away from us. The beaver was dragging a bunch of leafy branches. The beaver checked us out complacently and then slipped into the water, carrying the branches along as it swam.
Obviously a moose sighting would have been better than a beaver sighting, but at least we saw something wild and I'm somewhat satisfied. We also saw some loons and two frogs and a heron. The heron flew near me while I had my coffee on the cabin porch this morning.
So, all in all, we had a good time in Algonquin. No moose, but beaver.
