My guess is this is a male – very territorial. Every time I made a little too much noise (or the dog did), he made his rounds through the marsh, slapping his tail every couple of minutes. If I were to do this again, I'd wish:
1) for sun
2) that I'd left the dog at the house
3) that I'd cleared the grass in the way the previous day.
Any other suggestions?

Nice series of pics, Arne. I especially like the "534" image except for the little blade of grass across the nose.
I am jealous as I never seem to see the beavers, just their handy work.
