Really well done. You had me at the song which I used to sing at Campfire Girl camp. I've seen beavers on camping trips (canoeing quietly on grassy rivers) but it's been a long time since I've seen one. I'm keeping my eye peeled and my camera ready! Thanks Kelton.

I’m gonna be hanging out by the ponds to photograph some kits this early summer!

Amazing animal to see in its habitat. Hiking in flooded Land Between the Lakes at dusk crossed a narrow knee deep channel only to be warned loudly with a tail slap from a full grown specimen. It's splash was enough to scare the begezzes out of me and quicken my pace out of the water! Unforgettable.

Nature is effing awesome. The "person" in the first video singing that God-awful beaver song – not so much. Love the piece, love the "up with Nature" undertones, keep 'em comin'! Can I repost this on LinkedIn?

No problem. Some things are more important than us.

For what it’s worth, a local Boise, ID shop has some fun parachuting beaver swag (shirts, mugs). Our local Boise public radio station has also jumped all over it and was giving away coffee mugs with a different parachuting beaver for their recent pledge drive. 😆 We love that story up here!

In case anyone needs some gear:
