There were several developments today on beaver watch. First, a large beaver (probably a yearling) emerged twice during the work, downstream of the dam with a crabby tail slap when the pile driving resumed. Hopefully he went to sleep somewhere else.
Second, Skip Lisle is back through tomorrow, and was on site for the work. There are approximately three sheets remaining to install.
Third: tonight Jon met a very enthusiastic beaver supporter at the bridge who oohed and ahhed about the four kits. Why is this news you can use? She was Bradly Jackson’s wife. Worth A Dam has had consistently good contact with Jackson, and we support his replacement of Janet Kennedy on the council. Last night let’s just say we got the definite impression that things will be uncomfortable in the Jackson home if he doesn’t do right by the beavers.
Frogard Butler, the woman who is chronicling our beavers with painting, spent the day on the bridge sketching the old lodge site. We are happy for her support, and for the other faithfuls on the bridge who keep an eye out.
