Another flashback to the beaver pond in 2020. I was very fortunate to film one of the adult beavers adding mud and sticks to the lodge in the fall of 2020. This activity served the dual purposes of deepening the pond before winter freeze-up, and insulating the lodge for the cold prairie winter. It is pretty rare to get such an up-close look at this kind of beaver behaviour in broad daylight, but the Meewasin beaver pond was a magical place for watching beavers. Enjoy this blast from the past! #W

20K views · 1.9K reactions | I visited the beaver lodge this evening. You can see it was very wintery in Saskatoon today. The lodge is covered in a thin layer of snow, and the river around the lodge has started icing over. This beaver popped up in a small bit of open water next to the food cache. #beavers #wildlifephotography #winter | Mike’s photos and videos of beavers | Facebook

Check out this awesome video from Monday night of a beaver marking its scent in the snow next to The Prairie Lily. I love watching them maneuver through the snow, and I especially enjoyed seeing the beaver go over and under the metal support beam. Incredibly, after two warm days, there is virtually no snow left in the spot where this was filmed just two days ago. It appears like spring is here to stay. #beavers #wildlifephotography #beaver | Mike’s photos and videos of beavers
