I have done a spectacular job over the last two nights, if I do say so myself:

To round out my evening, I scored a beaver near Pottery Road. It swam around a bit, got out and explored the bank, then checked out that little inlet just north of the bridge. It didn't like what it found, and swam off downriver again.

Some day I'll bag a beaver when there's enough light for a picture.
