THE BEAVER

           The last post described a visit that was on the bridge for  good beaver watching. This year a beaver dam has gone in about 60m from the walking bridge over the creek. It's a popular place for people to meet. Most of the time people are there watching for the two beavers. This is where I met the Ukrainian couple and last night I visited with  man from New Zealand. 

         A large dam has been constructed. I think now they are storing food. On a stream like this they tunnel into the bank to make their lodge. So I thought, why not do a post on beavers? 

       


                                        I walk this path almost everyday


Around a bend and you see a foot bridge.

And a little closer and you find a fine bridge. The bridge makes for a great  viewing stand. You look down about 3 m to the water surface. 

And what do you know, Mr Beaver comes along.

This is by far the largest beaver I have ever seen.


                                  The water backs up 400 to 500 m.
                               

                       And every fine outing has to end so I'm on my way back home.
