Kate writes in with three (3!!) BLM-related photos:
1. The first is just a hole, I know, but I saw the BLM (a groundhog) go into it. I was sitting in a friend’s backyard at a bbq in Charlottesville, Virginia when the sighting happened. I immediately rushed over to where the BLM was spotted and got down on the ground and crawled around under the neighbors back porch hoping to see it again. I didn’t. But here is a picture of its hole.
2. A a statue of a BLM that I saw in Portland, Oregon. Portland is known as “beaver nation” because the Oregon state athletic mascot is…the beaver. I’m not sure if this BLM statue has anything to do with that or not, but it was very pretty and definitely beaver-like.
3. Lastly, here is a wild duck that I saw in a marsh in Charleston, South Carolina. At first glance I think ducks are probably not beaver-like, but they do swim and thrive in similar kinds of habitats and, like beavers, have a waterproof skin covering. Plus, this duck was really nice looking.

Whitney comes through for the BLM team! (See post Machu Beacchu.)
A cell phone photo of frighteningly large beavers (statutes), taken on my recent visit to Portland Or., as promised. How proud I am to be from the Beaver State. I think these beavers evidence that I am not the only proud Beaver Stater, since these beautiful likenesses are right in the heart of downtown.

We have achieved our first press!
And have received a response to it:
OK, this has to be one of the strangest web sites I have ever…been to. I was reading the C-Ville Weekly, and there was an article about this website. I probably laughed more reading that article then I have in ages. Aside from the brilliant humour that was employed in writting that article, I laughed so hard because I have always wondered “hey is that a beaver??” whenever I’ve seen a small furry animal, and to think there are other people who have thought the very same….and then made a website about it…it’s priceless. Anyways I dont know if anyone else has mentioned this place before, but I’ve seen a brown furry creature which I do believe to be a beaver while jogging around 29 and Hydraulic Road. Just when I passed the 7-11, before reaching Seminole Trail Shopping Center (which is on the right side, and I saw this beaver twice on the left side going north). I was actually quite excited when I saw this beaver (I sure hope it was a beaver) but it ran away when it saw me. While jogging back towards Hydraulic Road the beaver was again there..and again ran away when it saw me. Anyways, this is a nice, weird, eccentric little website and…I am shocked so many people have seen a small furry animal and said “hey is that a beaver?!?
