This is a much longer video than I usually share. On Wednesday evening, I spent about half an hour following a beaver as it did some scent marking in its territory, then stopped to graze on the riverbank, and then sat up to groom its fur. I merged a bunch of clips that I filmed over the half hour together so you can enjoy following the beaver like I did. #wildlifephotography #beavers #beaver | Mike’s photos and videos of beavers

EPIC BEAVER FOOTAGE! On Friday I managed to sit very still in the midst of the beaver family as they did beaver things. Here you will get an up close view as ChewBarka pushes one beaver away from the food, and then that beaver munches near my extended arm holding my camera. I got pretty wet trying to contort into position and balance myself to get this footage, but it was worth it. #beavers #wildlifephotography | Mike’s photos and videos of beavers

Here is a recent video of a busy beaver swimming near The Prairie Lily dock, then walking upright to just below where I was standing. It made a small scent mound to mark its territory. I got a little clumsy with the camera near the end of the video, but as you’ll see, The Prairie Lily was returning from an evening cruise just as the beaver was finishing its business. I always love watching the beavers walk upright, and I like that from this angle you can see its floppy webbed feet as it lumbered
