a little mystery, solved

[kayre]

While walking along they old Champlain Canal towpath today, I came to a spot that looked like someone had swept a broom across the trail.





To one side I saw a faint trail down the embankment below the canal.



To the other side I saw a slide into the canal water, and some scratch marks.



So I was unsurprised to see beaver construction 50 yards further along the trail. Looks like they are dragging branches of something tasty up the embankment and into the water!

And I think of what other, less noticeable projects our fellow-creatures are up to, there!

Chun Woo very much wants to see a beaver.
