Hello Redwood City,
Smoke in the skies, beavers in the baylands and a whole of local events and updates in the middle. There's a lot of pan-spectrum news coming your way today, so dig in.
If I were you, I'd start with the top story. An adorable little beaver has been caught on camera in Palo Alto for the first time in a very, very long time. The most endearing part of this discovery is not the cute little beaver itself but the enthusiasm among wildlife photographers, researchers, environmentalists and animal lovers. While editing the story, the excitement of the professionals we've quoted was palpable.
The appearance of this beaver is good for the whole ecosystem it seems. We've tried to pack in as much information about that in the piece as we could. Hope you enjoy the story.
On that note, have a lovely Friday!
Ashwini Gangal, filling in for Michelle.
