I watched it patrol its pond until it got too dark to take photos, even with a tripod.

One of the many beaver-engineered wetlands complexes in Canaan Valley. The dam, now over-grown with sedges and cattails, is as impressive a feat of engineering for rodents as the Hoover Dam is for human beings. More to the point, beavers are the key drivers to the ecological well-being of Canaan Valley’s extensive wetlands, and for the most part, staff at the National Wildlife Refuge and Canaan Valley State Park let them do their thing - to the point of occasionally letting them flood boardwalks and trails.

From top: spring cress (Cardamine bulbosa), a wetlands-loving relative of the toothworts, which is similarly edible; false green hellebore (Veratrum viride), a potentially-deadly mountain beauty, whose alkaloid-laden leaves and roots can cause cardiac arrest if ingested in sufficient amounts; dotted hawthorn (Crataegus punctata), an important food and shelter tree for wildlife in the valley; woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.), distinguished from the similar wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) by sepals that point backwards and seeds on the surface of the fruit; and Robin’s plantain (Erigeron pulchellus), the most impressive and beautiful of the spring fleabanes in Central Appalachia.

After hiking Mount Vernon, WA Little Mountain Park today I crossed the roadway from the East trailhead to the beaver pond on the other side to get a different angle on it. The pond is fed from runoff on Little Mountain rising to the left in this image.

Bolton Valley Nordic & Backcountry, VT 20JAN2024

Passing by Caribou’s Corner on my ski tour today in the Beaver Pond area of Bolton Valley’s Nordic and Backcountry Network Since today’s forecast was in the single digits F, and there was the possibility of wind as well, ski touring seemed like the natural choice vs. riding the lifts. In addition, our current weather system, while certainly enough to freshen up surfaces, isn’t expected to be…

Bad Beaver

A bit suggestive Rockbert fanfic

Daggett woke up to another good morning. He knew today that it's scary movie day, where he hung out with Heffer and Filburt at the theater. He got off the bed and noticed Norbert asleep. He shook him, “Hey! Wake up Norb! We gotta go to O’ Town today!”. Norbert grumbled, “Dag. We leave around twelve. Not eight.”. Daggett rolled his eyes, “I know but I wanna hang out with Heffer and Filburt already!”. Norbert sighed at this. Rocko works today and gets out around two in the afternoon. 

He looked at his brother, who gave him the puppy eyes, then shook his head, “Fine Dag you win. But you owe me!”. He got up and walked towards the restroom. Daggett grew extremely excited and ran towards his closet to find a cool shirt to wear. Meanwhile Norbert was in the shower and had this odd feeling that something isn't right. The water looked a bit. Green… Something then appeared in his vision and startled him. Daggett heard a loud scream from his brother and ran towards the bathroom, “Norb?! You feeling alright?!”. He got inside and saw his brother fighting against a green goo. His heart stopped as he knew that goo. The Pond Scum!!! 

He rushed to help as the thing was going inside Norbert's ear. He tried to pull it out but most of it was already in there. Norb knew it was already too late and looked at him, “Daggett. Help me!!!”. Daggett panicked and kept trying to pull The Scum out, “Don't worry dear brother!! I've saved you once, I can save you again!!”. The Scum slipped from his fingers and Norbert clutched his head. “D-Dag! Rocko! Can! No! Scum!”, Norbert tried saying as The Scum started taking over. Rocko can no scum? Rocko can't know about The Scum! 

Daggett nodded, “I'll do my best brother!”. He felt his shirt get grabbed, then lifted. He heard that familiar dark chuckle. He glared at the dark beaver with horns for hair, “Pond Scum. We meet again.”. The Scum looked at him and smirked, “It feels so good to be back in this old body. Now I can finally take my revenge on You.”. He threw Daggett out the door and walked towards him, “You don't know how long it took for me to find Every Piece of Me in that River!!!”. Daggett got up and ran down the stairs, as The Scum followed him. The Scum growled as Norbert's teeth grew sharper, “Two Years to get them back!!! Two Years!!! To find Every Single Piece in that River!!!”. Daggett ran towards the door and opened to find Heffer and Filburt there waiting. “Hey Daggett! We couldn't wait to hang out with you so we decided to- Hi Norbert!”, Heffer said excitedly. Daggett felt his heart stop and was grabbed by The Scum. The Scum laughed at this, “Who are these losers? Your New friends! As if the lowlife pathetic loser can't find any!”. 

Filburt was shocked, “Norbert! Don't say that about your brother!”. Daggett shook his head fast, “Not Norbert!!! Pond Scum!!! Took Over!!! Norbert Needs!!!! Help!!!!”. Heffer and Filburt were shocked and nodded at each other. They both tackled Norbert and pinned him down. “Don't worry Norb! I got the Pond Scum be Done spray! It kills any pond scum!”, Filburt said as he dig into his sheel trying to find it. The Scum's eyes widened and growled. He tried fighting back but Heffer was too fat. Heffer kept him pinned, “Hurry Up Filburt!!! He's trying to bite me!!!”. 

Filburt finally pulled out the can but The Scum lifted Heffer off the ground and threw him on him. The Scum ran towards a closet and slammed it shut. Heffer got up and Filburt was lifted by Daggett. Filburt was dizzy but gained consciousness. He looked to notice the can was sat on by Heffer and it's all flat. “Oh dear.”, Filburt said quietly. They then heard a large engine and turned to see the closet door shatter as The Scum was on the motorcycle, wearing the same outfit he wore before. He let out a loud dark laugh and drove around them. They huddled together while holding each other. The Scum pulled out the rope and wrapped them together and pulled it tight. He then bursted out the door and drove off. 

Daggett was squirming, “No!! We gotta save Norbert!!!”. Filburt was trying to untie himself, “How!? That thing is too strong!! I'm feeling nauseous.”. Heffer tried to look at Daggett, “So that Pond Scum possessed your brother?”. Daggett nodded, “He possessed him before and he was really mean towards everyone! And they thought it was Norbert! I did defeat him before but now he's back! He's going to hurt everyone!!”. 

Heffer got up, “Oh no he won't! We'll make sure he won't attack anyone and try to get rid of that Pond Scum!”. Daggett smiled, “Thanks guys.”. He bit the rips off and they all ran out the door and ran towards the forest. They warned every creature they could find that The Scum possessed Norbert again. They knew what to do and hid everywhere. Daggett then noticed Stump  by the picnic table and ran up to him, “Stump!! The Pond Scum is back, and he possessed Norbert again! We need some wheels to follow him and make sure he doesn't hurt anyone!”. The stump stood there saying nothing and Daggett nodded. “Ok but be careful Stump. That Scum is somewhere around here.”. 

Daggett ran off and looked around. He can hear the sounds of a motor engine but doesn't know where. He then shouted, “I have Already Told Everyone the Whole Forest!!! You'll Never Be Able to Hurt Them Now!!!”. He saw The Scum appear from the trees and growled at him. He drove his motorcycle towards him and Daggett was frozen in shock. “Daggett!!!”, Heffer and Filburt yelled as they tackled him out of the way before The Scum ran over him. The Scum laughed and circled them again but stopped as he noticed every woodland creature surrounded them. He growled, “You pathetic little animals think you can scare me?”. Barry and Big Rabbit walked closer to him. “We won't hesitate to pummel you Scum.”, Barry said as he cracked his knuckles. The Scum laughed at this, “Please. You won't be able to hurt me. You'll only hurt your dead Friend Norbert.”. Barry and Big Rabbit stopped and looked at each other in concern. The Scum laughed, “That's more like it. All of you step away or I will hurt your little beaver friend.”. 

One of the animals yelled, “Rocko will stop you!”. The Scum looked at him and raised a brow, “Rocko? Who's that a Rock?”. He laughed and Heffer grew angry. “Rocko is Not a Rock! He is our friend And Norbert's Boyfriend!”. The Scum looked at him then went through Norbert's pocket to pull out his wallet. He opened it to see a Picture of the Wallaby and smirked, “And this Rocko doesn't know about me?”. Daggett felt his heart stop. If he finds out that Rocko doesn't know then he'll attack him! “No! But he will know!”, Filburt yelled and Daggett panicked. The Scum laughed and put away the wallet, “Well then I guess I'll have to ruin this forest until I find this Rocko.”. Heffer crossed his arms and smirked, “You won't. Rocko lives in O’ Town but he's at the Comic book store working.”. Everyone facepalmed and Heffer soon realized what he just said. The Scum laughed at his stupidity and sped towards the creatures. They all jumped away and The Scum drove off towards the road to O’ Town. “We gotta stop him!!”, Daggett yelled in panic. He soon heard a loud engine and turned to see Stump on a motorcycle with two seats on the side. Daggett smiled wide, “Perfect! Thanks Stump!!”. They all got on the motorcycle and seats, then put on their helmets. Daggett soon held on to Stump as they all drove off to follow The Scum.

Rocko was reading one of the comic books. Just a few hours left before he closes the store and goes home. Norbert is probably waiting for him at home and taking care of Spunky. He smiled as he grew excited to cuddle with him and his puppy while watching some TV.  All of a sudden he heard screaming and looked outside to see everyone running from something. He was confused but something sped by fast and it caught him off guard. He grew concerned and ran towards the door. He opened it and looked to see nothing. Guess they're gone? He shrugged and went back inside and walked towards his counter. The door opened behind him and he felt himself flinch a bit. He turned around to see Norbert dressed up in a biker outfit. He felt relieved, “Norbert! You startled me for a second there. How are you?”. The Scum smirked and walked towards him, “Feeling alright. Just wanted to see you.”. 

Rocko grew a bit red and laughed nervously, “Uhhh N-Norbert. I'm working right now so I can't do anything at the moment.”. The Scum chuckled and pinned him by the counter, “You can't. But I can.”. Rocko shivered and ducked from him and crawled behind the counter. He then appeared and smiled at him nervously, “As much as I wanted to, I can't do anything here. Or I'll be fired immediately.”. The Scum rolled his eyes then noticed some cameras. He then smirked and took each of them out. Rocko rushed towards him, “What are you doing?! My boss will be furious!”. The Scum pinned him to the wall, “Don't worry about it cutie. I'll take care of this.”. Rocko turned more red and The Scum went up the stairs and Rocko watched. He heard a loud commotion and bangings until The Scum came back downstairs. “Consider yourself off for a few days, Rocko.”, The Scum said as he smirked at the Wallaby. Rocko grew concerned but The Scum pinned him to the wall again. “Now where were we?”, The Scum said as Rocko grew red at this. He licked his neck, earning a shudder from the Wallaby, and smirked. 

Heffer, Filburt, and Daggett barged in and pointed at The Scum. “Release the Wallaby!!”, Daggett yelled. The Scum growled and kicked the shelves down. They all fell like dominoes towards them. They all dodged the impact and Rocko looked at The Scum angrily. “Hey! Don't do that to our friends!”, Rocko yelled but The Scum grabbed him and carried him over his shoulder. “Relax Babe and we'll finish what we started.”, The Scum said as he rushed out of the store, stepping on their friends and got on the motorcycle. He sped off, while holding Rocko in his arms, and Daggett yelled out to them. “Nooooo! We were too late!!! He has Rocko!”, Daggett yelled while trying to get up. They all heard an angry mob coming in and they noticed they had pictures of Norbert on their signs. 

Heffer and Filburt panicked, got up, and picked up Daggett. “You stop The Scum while we deal with the mob!”, Heffer yelled as they placed him in the motorcycle. Daggett nodded at them and smiled, “Thanks guys you're the best.”. They gave Daggett a thumbs up and ran towards the mob. Daggett drove off fast hoping that he'll find Rocko and his brother. 

Rocko watched as they drove past everyone and crashed inside the Conglomo building. Rocko shielded himself from the broken glass as The Scum drove inside the elevator. He slammed the rooftop button and smirked at Rocko. “While we wait for this to take us to the roof. Why don't we get a little? Intimate?”, The Scum said as he pulled Rocko close, while caressing his face with his finger. Rocko was already fed up with this behavior and tried to push him away, “No thank you. You've decided to ruin my shop, harass my boss, hurt our friends, almost hurt everyone in this town, and crash inside this building! This isn't the Norbert that I know and love!”. The Scum rolled his eyes, “Come on baby. It wasn't even that bad. I'm sure they can fix your little shop and the building here.”. Rocko frowned even more and crossed his arms, “Doesn't matter Norbert. You need to understand that if you want to be treated with respect then respect those around you!”. The Scum growled at this. 

Daggett drove across town and noticed the damage at Conglomo. He raced inside and drove in the stairs, apologizing to everyone he dodged. As Rocko and The Scum made it to the roof, The Scum drove towards the edge and grabbed onto Rocko. “Listen babe I'm just trying to get you to be with me. Isn't that enough?”. Rocko looked away and shrugged, “I don't know anymore Norby. You say you want to do stuff with me but hurting everyone isn't going to help you get what you want.”. The Scum sighed and put on a fake smile, “What if I apologize to them? Then what?”. 

Rocko smiled at him and caressed his face, “Then that'll help you get what you deserve Norby Beauty.”. The Scum smirked and leaned close to him. Rocko smiled then pulled out the can and sprayed his face. The Scum screeched as he tried to fight off that smell. Rocko frowned at him while spraying him more. “You think I didn't notice? That you're the Pond Scum that took over my boyfriend's body and tried to get with me? I knew that it was you from the start you fiend.”. The Scum crawled away from him and looked at him confused, “H-How!?”. 

Rocko frowned, “My Norbert Never wears piercings, smells like the sewage, or even walks funny. My Norbert always greets me in my work with cute nicknames he comes up with. You never once called me Rocky Road, Rocky Comics, or Rocky! So I knew something was up and I noticed those earrings!”. Rocko sprayed him again until The Scum came out of Norbert and squirmed away from him fast. Norbert was there passed out and Rocko was growling at The Scum. “You had the audacity to hurt my beaver. You will pay for this scum.”, Rocko growled as he held the can at him. The Scum held up its numbs at him, “P-Please. Don't hurt me!”. Rocko stopped and frowned at him, “I won't.”. The Scum sighed in relief but felt something off. Rocko then looked up, “But he will.”. He then tossed the can and The Scum looked to see Daggett catching it. The beaver growled at The Scum, “You Little Monster! Hurting my Brother and Future Brother-in-law! You will Face my Wrath!!!!”. He then started spraying The Scum and watched as it slowly started shrinking. The Scum yelled as it was dying and Daggett made sure that's it's gone for good. 

They both looked closely to see nothing but concrete on the floor. Daggett then ripped the can open and poured the rest on that exact spot The Scum was on. Rocko chuckled and then rushed towards Norbert. He lifted him and bit and noticed the beaver was waking up. Daggett rushed towards them. “Uuuugh my head…”, Norbert said as he held his head. He looked around and noticed Rocko and Daggett staring at him with relief. He chuckled at them, “Glad to see you two again Daggarooni and Rocky Road.”. They laughed and embraced each other happily that Norbert is alright and himself again. Soon the boys appeared along with the mob and looked around, “Where did that scum go??”. Daggett pointed at the large stain on the floor, “He is now Gone for Good!”. The mob cheered as they ran towards Daggett. They then picked up the dead can and ran out the door to celebrate the can’s victory. Heffer, Filburt, Rocko and Norbert stared at Daggett and they all soon laughed. Heffer then patted Daggett’s back, “Don't worry they're all dumb. But we know who's the Real hero!”. Daggett smiled while tearing up a bit and the boys lifted him up. “Let's Celebrate Dag’s Victory with Food!!!”, Heffer yelled as they took Daggett downstairs. Rocko and Norbert chuckled and watched as they left. Norbert then nuzzled Rocko, “Sorry about The Scum Rockamundo.”. 

Rocko shook his head, “As much as I love you in that biker outfit, I prefer the real Norbert. The kind, charming, sweet, lovable, huggable, soft beaver I've ever met.”. He carried Norbert bridal style and placed him in the motorcycle. He then got on and started the engine. Norbert held on to him shocked, “You've rode this before?!”. Rocko laughed, “I've driven a motorcycle many times Norby Beauty.”. He then rode towards the stairs and out of the building. Norbert held onto him tight and turned so red at this. 

Daggett, Heffer, and Filburt made it to Chokey Chicken and held up their chicken tenders, “To Daggett!! For saving everyone from that Pond Scum!!”. Daggett smiled and ate his chicken. Filburt then looked at them, “Where's Rocko and Norbert?”. They soon heard the motorcycle go by and looked to see the two passing through. “Their they are! Going straight towards Rocko's home.”, Heffer pointed out. The three chuckled and looked at each other. “How much you wanna bet that Rocko will be bottom this time?”, Heffer said earning a groan of disgust from Daggett. “No! I will not be thinking about that. Nope.”. Filburt placed five bucks on the table, “Five bucks that Norbert is bottom.”. Daggett screeched as he closed his ears, earning a loud laugh from the boys.

Some busy beavers out and about in the pond!

Fall has definitely arrived, and everything is looking so beautiful as the leaves change.
