March 30th – 7:00pm – Three beavers had been seen, before we got down to the secondary dam, by another beaver watcher. A beaver was then seen coming down from high up on the bank. It entered the water by the bank hole. Another beaver came swimming down from upstream and crossed over the secondary dam and continued on downstream. We followed it until it came to the third dam. This dam looks great and we watched two beavers working on this dam. They also had some time to wrestle with each other. A runner stopped by to ask what we were looking at and was quite surprised to find out that we had beavers in the creek. He lived in Martinez but hadn’t heard about them. He stay and enjoyed watching them with us for awhile. It was real nice to be down again at the dam sites and to see the beavers out in the evening. Day light savings time is great for beaver watching. CR, LB, MS

It crossed over the secondary dam and swam on downstream.JR March 16th – 7:15pm – 7:45pm – One beaver was spotted at the primary dam and two were seen at the secondary dam. Looks like there is a lot of work being done on the third dam as it looks well built. A large brown rat was seen climbing onto the primary dam to get an apple, which he ate while sitting on the dam.

March 16th – 4:50am – Our early beaver viewer was down at the dams sites again this morning. It was reported that an adult beaver came swimming up from below the secondary dam bringing up a willow branch. There was a kit waiting above the dam. The beaver took the willow branch into the bank hole and when the viewer left, some of the branch was still sticking out of the hole. The kit spent some time swimming around the secondary dam. A great blue heron was seen below the primary dam.JR
