A beaver in water with some fresh greens

Mary Ellen watched this beaver at Cow Island Pond (the part of the Charles off Rivermoor Street in West Roxbury) make several trips with fresh greens the other day - so maybe bringing lunch home for the kids, rather than doing construction.

Bald eagle in West Roxbury

Mary Ellen shows us one of the two bald eagles she watched hanging out yesterday in the trees along the Charles River's Cow Island Pond, off Rivermoor Street in West Roxbury. Could the couple be searching for starter nest for a new family?
