There are several small lakes in and around Cherry Hill, and one of them - only about 1/2 a mile from our house - had a resident North American beaver. My room mate Sophia and I decided to go for a walk before breakfast and see if we could spot it. As we discovered over the next two weeks, the beaver appeared fairly reliably at about 7:15am each day, but the views we got on the first morning were not to be surpassed. He/she seemed curious about the two creatures hanging around at the edge of the lake, and swam over for a closer look.After breakfast, Chris briefed us on the research we would be helping with, and in the afternoon we paid our first visit to the research site at Cook's Lake.
