Friday afternoon, we walked to the Beaver Pond to see the level of the water. Sarah had told me on Thursday, the water was within two inches of the top of the Beaver Stump. With just over 1.5" of rain on Saturday, we were sure that the Stump would be completely covered today. Well, guess again.
So I walked over to the Beaver Dam... I hear water flowing!!!
The pressure of the increased water on the earthen plug made by the beaver caused a collapse sometime in the past 36 hours.
And it most likely happened last night... The ice seen above shows a pattern of quickly receding water. The temperature overnight was 19.2° F.
I wasn't the only one investigating the damage, the tracks of a VERY LARGE beaver were near the flowing water.
