While I've seen a single beaver in Col. Sam Smith Park on previous occasions, I was thrilled to finally see two of them together when I was out for a walk last night. I tried to get some pictures, but without my tripod none of the pics are fantastic.
Still, this morning I was checking what I actually ended up with and realized I also got a picture of a third animal I didn't even notice at the time. It's on the shore right by the two adults, and looks very much like it could be a young beaver - although it could also be a mink or muskrat.
Here's the large size of the best shot that includes the little guy:

Has anyone seen young beavers this year when they've been at Sam Smith?
