Sagehen Creek, 3 mi.NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co.,Calif.
Aug 2 of ripples but view blocked. There is no
one place where a person can see
more than 2/3 of any of the colonies
I've seen so far. 8:35 beaver appeared
opposite small dam, swam upstream
& dove just below spit. Left at 8:36, clear
Aug 34 calm. 7:05 PM same colony. Fisherman
left as I arrived. 7:20 beaver in cove
below little dam; swam & floated then
fed (?). Activity ended 7:25. 7:30 more
activity in the N fork, one coming
over to main pond, diving, then
floating idly before swimming up
to beyond spit underwater
& entered house presumably.
Always seem to see beavers first
in cove at vicinity of N fork
cove where they were the first
night. May have burrow just
below this spot. 7:38 one reap-
peared, swam down, then up
about 1/2 way up, another came over
from fork & swam upstream, both
dove under deadfall. A third,
noticed squatting way down on
fork. This makes 3 med size
(to adults seen at one time.
