Busy Barry Beaver

 "I'm going down to visit Barry!" This is a new phrase for me. 


The path down to the wetland Barry has taken over is between the pine tree on the left and the shed.


I just wish Barry could help with this dead birch tree! It's been leaning since the hurricane a few years ago.

This is what I noticed in November... He's taken about 20 trees down, and left 2 or 3 widow makers. 

 

 I saw him (her?) in the pond after I snuck up carefully on the crunchy leaves.

   


 The coyote knows very well Barry is here. I captured video of it climbing the hill where the beaver uses the same path. It looks like it is a difficult uphill climb. I did it yesterday and I can verify that.


  

 The beaver's been up and down. I spliced two videos, as coyote is still checking the area out. The trailcam (actually the bird cam) scared him!

   


 Barry's going up and down quite frequently! Winter approaches... 

 


I have tried to map my find. It is tricky. 


We've lots of trees, 16 acres worth. We'll see what happens.

It is sad the beavers do so much damage to the trees.
Take care, have a great week ahead.
