June 22 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif.
Upper water. As observed previously, beavers will
eat almost all the bark off of a large
tree cut very near shore, otherwise,
only bark up to about 3" diam. This
animal, probably the same one just
seen entering lodge, pulls off another
piece of bark and dives. Couldn't see
tail. 7:20, one swimming in deadfall
pond. 7:25 one swims from main pond
up to next one, sits on dam a minute
or so, cuts bark, passes over into S chan-
nel. No tail marks. Climbed down from
perch at 8:15 and as I was crossing
over a log to the N side, had a
good view of an unmarked beaver
in the mid-channel where it dove
& carried, its tail arched out of
water as the 2nd beaver of eve. had.
Found two large asp, about 10+12" in
diam felled last night near Jim's
Ofr tree and not trimmed at all.
Last night was only time they could have
been felled as they certainly weren't
there yesterday when I checked the
