I returned to check my beaver tree camera I had set up and unfortunately all the camera captured was squirrels. Winter isn't really the best time to get footage of beavers felling trees as they're usually more active in the spring and summer repairing their lodges and dams and throughout the fall when they're stockpiling food underwater that they can access under the ice during the long winter, but I had hoped that since we've had a pretty mild winter here so far that they would still be active. I did a bit more walking though and found two beaver lodges and a dam. I've only seen one other lodge before and that was pretty close to this area but it appeared to be abandoned so to find two lodges and a dam with fresh sign is pretty exciting. I set up the camera on the smaller of the two lodges (not the one pictured) that was closer to shore and within camera range, but I hope to return either with hip waders or once the water freezes to put a camera on a tree next to...
