A beaver in the backyard

We happened to hear that there was a beaver in a backyard garden pond just a few blocks outside Rondeau Park.
The homeowners were very kind in allowing Anne and me into their yard to see the beaver.

There are usually a few reports each year of beavers in the area but we hadn't seen one.
We live in the southern most part of Ontario and beavers are rare here. Up north they are common and in many instances are considered a nuisance.

To have one in an 8x5 pond that is about 2 feet deep is sort of neat.
I imagine it will leave after it cleans out the water lilies, they eat the roots.
