J.G. Hall 1952 57 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. Aug 13 other swam to spit cove, cut a willow which it took to shallows to eat. Meanwhile still another dove near the spit and "bob- bled" near the house. 8:19 one animal in SE cove swims up to SW cove to join the beaver already there but only notes a willow cutting. 7:20 a bit emerges from the house into this same cove, takes cutting from the first beaver + dives with it into house. The "robbed" beaver goes + dives to house. 7:21 the remain- ing one does same. 7:23 a med. size animal swims from spit to little red then to a S cove, up on land + back to water. Meanwhile another beaver somehow has gotten way back in the willows even farther from shore than my tree. It dragged a cutting to shore + dove with it. 8:25 it is getting to be too dark to see so I leave just as the activity seems to be getting really underway - as usual. Aug 14 Lower Rockslide colony 6:25 PM 6:32, two beavers swimming back & forth in North fork, one whacked tail twice, w/o diving & w/o a cause apparent to me. 6:35, one crossed over to pond,
