May 24th – 6:30pm – Four beavers were seen last night around the secondary dam. One seemed to come down from the primary dam first and stopped at the footbridge lodge. He then got some branches. A smaller beaver came out of the footbridge lodge and got some apples that some one had left. Junior was also seen coming down from the primary dam and the last beaver to be seen was Dad. Besides the four beavers, a large turtle was seen along with a mom duck with her ll ducklings They must have been newly hatched as they were so small. The baby ducks were scared when two green herons flew down the creek and then up into the cottonwood tree. It was a great beaver night but very cold when the fog started to come in.HP, JR

May 22nd – 7:00pm – Three beavers were seen last night. One beaver was seen coming from the primary dam and swimming over the secondary dam and on down the creek. Also one of the beavers was feeding at the primary dam. The Ward Street area was checked out and last years kit was seen feasting on some lovely blackberry bushes. It was a high tide and the beavers were certainly taking advantage of quite a large area of the creek. HP, JR

May 2nd – 6:00pm – Wow, what an amazing beaver viewing night. First two beavers were seen swimming down from the primary dam site. These two seemed to be the same size which made us wonder which ones these were. Soon last years kit came out from around the bank area and spent some time near the secondary dam. Also he was seen doing some minor repairs. The secondary dam looks great. It wasn’t much longer before we spotted a very large beaver that must have been Dad. Mom was seen also. There was so much beaver activity going on that it was hard to figure out how many beavers were out. It was determined that five beavers were seen. HP, JR, CR, JO, LB
