Last weekend I drove up highway 88 past the snowfalls and towards thevhigh desert. On the Washoe reservation land we came across a very active beaver site, with a dam, lodge and several secondary dams. Looks like they were made out of successfully coppiced cottonwood trees, that apparently love their new keepers. It was delightful to see such a healthy habitat, with clear benefits for the rugged terrain. I thought I’d share some photos. The last is of an American Dipper on the Consumnes River, singing his heart out for a possible mate.
