One of the only mammals, other than humans, that can manufacture its own environment, the beaver is known for building dams, canals and lodges. Its colonies are created by one or more beaver-built dams, which provide still and deep water for protection against predators. An emblem of Canada older than the maple leaf, the beaver has had a greater impact on Canadian history and exploration than any other animal or plant species.

At flood levels, this would normally be the beach area.
It is OK to break the rules sometimes of having the midline in the middle ;)

Burnaby BC Canada • Spring 2020
The last hues of pink and purple as the sunset was fading away, the clouds parted so that the crescent moon was visible and the reflections just make this my image of the day for July 27, 2017. Petrie Island
Best viewed large.
It was heavily overcast in Whitehorse the other night, but the aurora forecast looked promising, so I went up into the mountains to get above the clouds. Glad I did, caught a spectacular show.
The most noticeable differences between white-tailed and mule deer are ear size, tail color, and antler configuration. In many cases, body size is also a key difference. The mule deer's tail is black-tipped, whereas the white-tailed deer's is not. Mule deer antlers are bifurcated; they "fork" as they grow, rather than branching from a single main beam, as is the case with white-taileds.
Snow Geese are epic flyers and always awe inspiring to see their immense flocks landed on a lake or field and then take off at once.
Red Shafted Male (Composite)
The red-shafted and yellow-shafted forms of the Northern Flicker formerly were considered different species. The two forms hybridize extensively in a wide zone from Alaska to the panhandle of Texas. A hybrid often has some traits from each of the two forms and some traits that are intermediate between them.
This winter morning scene captures the resilience of Mule Deer enduring the cold of Alberta. The frost-covered landscape reflects the harshness of the season, while the deer's calm and curious gaze reveals their strength and adaptability to their frozen world.
The male Common Goldeneye adds a bright note to winter days with its radiant amber eye, glistening green-black head, and crisp black-and-white body and wings. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Goldeneye/id
Natural cavities for nesting are scarce, and the Wood Duck readily uses nest boxes provided for it. If nest boxes are placed too close together, many females lay eggs in the nests of other females.
The American Redstart is a lively warbler that flits about very actively among tree branches in search of insects. Redstarts take more flying prey than most other warbler species, and they compete with other flycatching species (such as Least Flycatcher) for the same prey.
