A beaver that clambered up from the Neponset River at Lower Mills last night didn't want to go back to its watery home - would-be rescuers spent nearly two hours trying unsuccessfully to convince it to head back down to the river before Milton Police came to the rescue with a recycling bin - which they gently placed atop it and then slowly pushed it to the water.

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.

It's got to be frustrating to be a Millennium Park beaver these days: There's just not enough water to dam up along the Charles, but especially in Sawmill Brook, which no longer empties into the Charles because it no longer flows.

Update: Mary Ellen posted video showing that the little guy was able to get a bit of a swim in.
