Wildlife photographer Don Orkoskey spotted his first wild beaver while photographing cormorants at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The young beaver appeared on the shoreline just feet away, close enough to photograph.

On Friday, while I was hiking at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, I got to see something that I have never seen in my entire life as a wildlife photographer. While I was photographing and watching the cormorants, I noticed something moving on the shoreline close to me. Very close to me, in fact. It was a young beaver. So for the first time in all the years that I've been a wildlife photographer, I've finally gotten a chance to get a couple shots of a wild beaver in its natural habitat. I hope you enjoy these photos that I'm sharing. Thanks so much, and I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
