Never let it be said that our beavers aren’t flexible! Just look at the craftsmanship on this reach around unit they installed this weekend on the secondary dam! A few months ago a thoughtless kayaker paddled through their hard work and ripped a trench in the dam. They’ve been weirdly reluctant to invest time in repairing it, just lightly patching and tolerating a huge water loss as a result. Now they’ve decided that rather than restore the dam., they’re going to move the whole thing south with a snakey shape that required a literal ton of mud to move. I can’t say how this will end up, but at the moment they have built a kind of pond around their pond, which is very surprising to see.
Oh and we saw all three of these last night and Junior looking all growed up! He’s about 2 months away from dispersal so it was nice to see him before he goes. Here’s a weird-angled glimpse of our prettiest kit. (Shh don’t tell her brothers.)
There’s no beaver news or unicorns this morning, so I’m just going to use it for show and tell. Here’s the art project idea I’m kicking around for Earthday. Whadaya think?
