My top target species to photograph this summer is the beaver. I saw one tonight while visiting some friends in Warren, Connecticut. The light was less than favorable and my goal is to get the beaver out of water so that the tail is visible. That said, it was fun to watch this guy feasting on lily pads for half an hour or so before disappearing back into the lodge. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1100, f/5.6 at 1/800th of a second.

This used to be family photo blog, now it’s all just boobie and beaver shots. I’m going to post about this on Nextdoor.
Lovely shot with the low light conditions! These guys are so industrious and fun to watch. Hope you get the photo you’re after! Good luck!
