Busy As

Tom and I went and seeded wild rice in some lake channels on one of our farms. While we were there we noticed the beavers had been very active. There were fresh shavings and trees they’d gnawed down and trees they were still working on.

This first one was a fair sized tree, maybe a foot in diameter that they had just felled.

But on the other side of the channel they are working on some huge trees. I can’t imagine what they’re going to do with these when they do get them chewed down.

Beavers are notoriously shy and difficult to photograph. But I was lucky and got a picture of one working on a tree.

They always look so different in real life.
