It was such a beautiful November day on Saturday that I had to take advantage. So I drove north to visit and walk the paths of the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge.
Known for the flocks of Sandhill cranes that migrate through in the Fall, the refuge also has Trumpeter swans, other migratory birds and more beavers than I have ever seen. Also oak savannahs, acres of prairie grasses and ponds and lakes with cattail and other marsh plants.
I easily saw a dozen beavers on three different ponds or lakes. Not just beaver activity but actual beavers. The beaver pond had 7-8 beavers with 5 small pups hanging out together and what could have been the biggest beaver I've ever seen.
