Trace of the Beaver
Dogwood Lake, Aiken SC, 19 Feb 2010.
About 3 years before this photo was taken, a beaver lived in and around the lake for several months (perhaps close to a year in all). It cut down several small trees, and tried to cut down several others (including the one shown here).
In mid-Feb 2010, the course groundskeepers did some work where they removed some trees. They also removed several stumps left by the beaver. I took this photo to preserve evidence of the beaver's work, before this tree is taken down too. (Most of the stumps, where the beaver had been sucessful in cutting down trees, were much smaller diameter than this one.
This morning (as this caption is written on 4 Mar 2010), I saw what appears to be another beaver (or perhaps the same one) at the lake. (What I saw today MIGHT have been an otter -- I saw only its head, and only for a few seconds.)
