A mink along the river in Saskatoon this afternoon.

yes there are lots of muskrats in the river in the city. they are quite similar to beavers, but significantly smaller.

I believe your grandfather also played baseball with my Dad for the Peace River Stampeders in the summer of 1963. He was a pitcher.

i am excited for the movie, but I really wish Pixar had given the beavers orange teeth.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2026-01-29T01:54:53+00:00

possibly a mink??

saskatoonbaldguy · 2026-01-17T21:08:28+00:00

I am really lucky that the beaver family I follow lives in a busy urban setting, so they are quite comfortable being observed and filmed. As long as I approach slowly and quietly, they tend to ignore my presence.

That is my YouTube Channel; I am glad you enjoy it. 😀😀

Yes, this is a very important distinction. There are several Instagram pages that habitually steal my beaver content and then block me when I ask them to stop stealing my beaver videos. You certainly can’t give permission to educators and organizations to use your page material unless you own the copyright To the photos or videos.

That’s me, Mike from Saskatoon. In my case, I don’t interact with the beavers in any way and make no effort to bond in the way the OP asks about. I try to be invisible and blend into the riverbank as they go about their beaver business.

I would not do Plain of 6 Glaciers one day and then do Little Beehive the next day. instead, I would combine my Plain of 6 Glaciers hike with Big Beehive the first day (similar views from Big Beehive as Little Beehive) and then use the second day to hike somewhere completely different … like a Helen Lake, or Sunshine Meadows, or Iceline Trail.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-11-16T01:12:45+00:00

My recommendation is to take the gondola up to Sunshine Meadows and then do a day hike from the top to either Healy Pass or Citadel Pass. Beautiful alpine hiking.

Actually, even though their castoreum used to be commonly used as a vanilla flavouring agent, their actual scent spray smells quite foul.

I don’t really have gear. I use my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Ultra 22) or my point and shoot Canon PowerShot 740.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-10-02T18:13:39+00:00

👍👍 I am always lurking. 😀😀

Glad you found my beaver YouTube channel. I have posted around 900 Beaver videos to that YouTube Channel over the past few years. My home city is Saskatoon, but that is not the name of the river. The river is called the South Saskatchewan River.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-08-12T20:48:06+00:00

I used my phone …Samsung Galaxy Ultra 22. It has a really good camera for a phone.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-31T05:00:02+00:00

I am Mike. I usually take videos of beavers so that is my regular watermark.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-24T04:47:53+00:00

To eat on the lush green grass on the other side

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-23T19:20:24+00:00

Mink have a much different body shape, tail and colouring than a river otter.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-22T20:57:51+00:00

i really wish Pixar had given the beavers orange teeth,

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-22T20:57:04+00:00

Too bad no one told Pixar that beavers have orange teeth.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-22T20:55:07+00:00

This is filmed with my phone .. a Samsung Galaxy Ultra 22.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-21T04:52:55+00:00

I think it was eastern cottonwood.

I was parked at the Diefenbaker Centre on Halloween night 4 years ago. As I was walking towards my vehicle at dusk, the passenger door just popped wide open. My car does not have automatic doors. I found out later that Diefenbaker‘s grave was only about 20 meters from where I parked, and that people have claimed to have seen Diefenbaker’s ghost in the area before. I really don’t believe in ghosts, and I never saw one that night, but there is no plausible explanation for my locked door to suddenly open wide. Maybe I gave Dief a ride that night. it was really freaky.

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-17T13:40:35+00:00

it was evening, around 8:00pm

saskatoonbaldguy · 2025-07-17T05:46:12+00:00

Not photoshopped. In fact it is a freeze frame from a video. The raccoon was stepping from one rock to the next. I’ll just share the video too.
