Canadian Hero

A true Canadian hero:  a beaver, doing what it does best, hauls a branch out of the Ward’s dunes through a winter blizzard, back to the water where it will swim with it through the breaking surf to its lodge.

Absolutely epic, for the amount of nutrition that the underbark of dogwood contains.

This is a crop from a larger photograph, there wasn’t enough time to get closer.
