Beaver In The River

This is one of eight or more beavers that reside on the American River.  

I watched it swim around this log and eventually go up to groom itself.  This is a favorite log for all the beavers to either sleep or groom themselves.

The beaver's grooming session was interrupted by a boat that was coming a little too close to the log. 

Eventually, it decided to slip into the river and disappear until the boat had passed.
