beaver patrol

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.03.30

Tonight while fishing (fruitlessly) at the Ashbridge's Bay marina, a large beaver paddled right by in front of me. I'd seen the chewed-up trees, and knew there was around, but honestly: how many urban areas with six million people have a growing beaver population!

No fishing tomorrow; looks like I've been skunked the entire winter pike open season.
