This old fellow has been visiting the riverbank on the opposite
side of the river from my place. Caught him over there the other
evening, and grabbed the camera for a few shots.
Shot these from our back deck, so the beaver was close to 100 yds.
away. Used my D90 and a 70-300mm Nikon lens, which, when you add
in the "crop factor" is actually more like a 450mm. Still, it was a bit of a
reach for the lens, but I'm happy with the results.
He shows up in the evening, coming from someplace upriver. Usually
he'll hang out in the water for a bit, making sure there's no predators
wandering the beach, then he'll trundle on up the bank, cut himself
some nice, freshly grown branches and trundle on back to the water
to enjoy his supper.
Must have known I was taking his pic, 'cause he stopped and gave
me a nice profile, with smile..
