| I think it's bigger than it was last fall. Looks cozy. |
I searched on Google maps and found the exact spot. On the street view, taken in September of 2011, the lodge is just visible.

I waited, but saw no sign of the beaver family this time. Other than their home, of course.
Only a few weeks ago, I discovered a beaver lodge at Terra Nova. What lead to that discovery was seeing floating gnawed branches in the pond, then gnawed stumps on the shoreline. The existence of that evidence may hint at this being an active lodge.
ReplyDeleteTerra Nova is excellent beaver territory. I hope the human residents don't protest, or fight, like they do in Cougar Creek, off Scott Road.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, there isn't an actual dam, so no risk of flooding. But I suppose that people who are more fond of the trees than the beaver could take measures to protect said trees. Hopefully, that will take the form of fencing around trees, as opposed to relocating the beaver.
