A beaver's instinct

A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.
-
Where can I subscribe to regular updates on their progress?
-
They got plans and I am in love with them
-
I LOVE beaver dams! And you get to observe how the ecosystem changes over time. I'm mad jealous.
There's one by the Navy base trails, but the little fuckers built a new one upstream that you can't see from the official path. But you can still clearly see how the entire area changed into a pond/swamp. There's another by my camp, but I can't get there anymore without dire "PRIVATE PROPERTY" signs having gone up.

It's definitely getting swampy after a couple rainstorms, there's almost knee-deep standing water in some parts!
-
Yes! The ecosystem changes are what I'm most excited about. Not so much the mosquito swarms the next year or two, but once the rest of the food chain moves in it'll be wonderful! I have seen a heron a couple times in the swampier parts of the creekbed and if he becomes a consistent visitor to the area I'll be over the moon.

The sound of trickling water is triggering to beavers. Literally. If they hear water running, they have to turn it off.
They are the ultimate dads of the animal Kingdom.
I'm sure if they evolved in an environment with electricity, they'd be going from room to room turning off light switches.

I'll have you know, I let my bathtub drop for a year before fixing it

...Well if someone else in this damn house would ever turn them off I wouldn't have to now would I?
My step kid literally turned on the kitchen, dining, hallway, and bathroom light after I went to bed and left them on. Cue grumpy ass me turning off lights after my late night pee. The hallway light alone is enough to light up every single one of those rooms for grabbing whatever you need before bed, the switch is five feet from their bedroom and I have a switch in my bedroom for it as well. So of course that couldn't be the only light left on. Rant over

(Beaver DOOM music intensifies)

Beaver: hears running water
"It's like music to my ears. And I hate music."
-
"I'm here to kick water's ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Beaver: .... DAAAYYYYYYEEEMMMMMM

Wasn't this a tweet? Which came first I wonder
-
Recycled joke. The original was funnier, and original.
-
But not recycled. Save the planet, recycle a joke!

The brook babbled. And I took that personally.
-
*and I babbled back

They don't make good pets because they will hear the water moving through the pipes in the walls/under the floors and try to build a dam in your living room.
-
Nope
-
Big plans
-
I wouldn't mind a wet beaver.

🤦

This is about the Canadian federal election, right?
