 Beaver with honey on cuts One of the things I love about visiting Greenwood is the variety of animals that are there. On my latest visit, I saw a hummingbird baby, a couple of baby Barn Swallows from Boulder, a Chipping Sparrow, a couple of cottontail rabbit orphans, a bunch of ducks, raccoons, jays, grackles and even a beaver! The beaver was found at the base of Boulder Falls, and he had many cuts. I heard he kept scraping off the ointments they put on him, so they finally tried honey! While it looks gooey, it seemed to be working, and he didn't mind me taking pictures of him. What a treat! Below you'll see some of the other residents at Greenwood. It is the height of the busy season, and all the animals are so thankful for the volunteers. Thanks, Greenwood, for giving these animals a second chance!
