I’ve been after a beaver-out-of-water shot where you can clearly see the tail for quite a while now. I kind of got there last Friday when I visited a nearby pond and had a few seconds with this guy as he performed some quick maintenance on the side of his lodge. A tangle of twigs made it difficult, but you can see the characteristic tail falling off to the side. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 5600, f/5.6 at 1/160th of a second.
I have had few occasions to photograph beavers (2 times to be exact) & each time I found the critters especially wily & difficult to capture, so I applaud your effort, Sean. Real nice!
