This Best Shot comes from frequent contributor Mary Sonis, who sends all her Best Shots labeled "Crittercam." Mary takes some of the best photos of local wildlife we've seen.

"As you can see, this beaver is enjoying a dinner of pond roots by Bolin Creek. These animals are very shy, so I feel lucky to have been able to watch her eat and glide around the pond. She was very cooperative about letting me take her picture ... only 20 feet away."
