Notes

I was fortunate enough to see the Beaver today! I was not quick enough with my phone, but I watched the typical V wake they leave behind and sure enough, there was the beaver. Also saw a Blue Heron and many dragon flies. There seems to be quick a slick of algae and some oil on the edge by he actual beaver dam there. Today I saw a beaver swim away from this sight and off into some bull rushes. The geese and ducks who have used the roof of the beaver lodge as their own nest over the summer - seem to have left. Just some barn swallows, and red winged blackbirds flying about today.
