Hall 1955 272 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 June 24 Colony, // Little Ray Allen & I arrived Lower at Lower Colony 10:45 AM. Enter al" to North, old sed. for last Feb. Cutting
