Barry beaver update

 What a season! I am glad Winter is done.

It was cold on Sunday, and the little crocus just fell over!

While many in our province are dealing with flooding, Barry is happy to have sanctuary in our deeper wetland ecosystem. 

In the fall, back before a winter sleep, Barry beaver chopped down this tree and the one behind it! I snapped photos in the snow, which has melted.


It lay in the snow for months. 


I ambled down to check trailcams, and the top of the tree has disappeared!



Good thing we have more Aspens!

I noticed he'd brought some mud up onto the edge of the wetland. 



Here is a wary Barry out in the dark gathering more food,


We've taken a few steps backward in terms of weather. It's a tad cold, at -2 ℃ this morning. I managed some yard work yesterday, but it was cold!
