Ahhh this morning’s crisp dawn began with a visit to the dam where several beaver loyalists with alot of expensive camera equipment met up for a chat and compare. The beavers were in full view, working on the main dam and feeding on the banks. One frisky young racoon went into the lodge again while they were foraging, this time having a good sniff around before exiting through the back door. Our carnivorous ducks are back in large numbers: the scaups hopped or flew over the dam in sets of three or four, heading for the annex area. They are definately finding something to their liking under those waters.
A raucous plop and slap was heard towards the visit’s end, with a large splash at the dam where someone seemed to duck under just in time. One issue we are trying to pull together is a logo for the nonprofit interest. Ultimately it would be great to have a graphic artist work on putting one together for us, but how do people feel about this for now? Email your thoughts as always to mtzbeavers@gmail.com. Remember that the beaver subcommittee meeting resumes tuesday at 5:30. The ESA students will be there with a presentation and Igor will be freshly back from the beaver conference. It should be an interesting night. Bring a friend, or make one there.
