Here’s a message of this chilly morning’s missed photo op on the MRG from Dan Moriarty:
“I missed a unique photo op this morning . I was walking down MRG and had just passed Terrace View Condos. I was looking to the right downhill towards the pond for wildlife.
Out of the corner of my left eye, I noted something moving onto the trail uphill from Gardner Supply. It was a huge magnificent beaver. He waddled onto the trail, stopped, sat up and looked at me. He was about 20 feet away.I was dressed warm because it was 30 degrees out. My phone was zipped in my anorak front pouch and I had big mittens on. I tried to get my mittens off fast, unzip my pouch, take my phone out, cycle it on and take a photo. Phone took too long to cycle on.
Beaver sat there watching me fumble around, then turned around and went back downhill toward Gardners Supply. He was out of sight by time phone cycled on. I thought he would have headed across trail toward pond downhill on other side.”
If you spot this magnificent beaver or other interesting wildlife on the MRG please submit your photo and story to mcgovern.patricia(AT)gmail.com
