This year the beavers have been knocking down all the trees on a spit of land where I like to bird. This tree was always popular with birds, so I am sad to see it go. I admire an animal that can fell a large tree with its teeth in the dark, but I wish they would leave this one tree standing. It will be down the next time I visit there.
Great shot. Wow, that is amazing that they have gnawed around the tree like that. So sad that it will be down. And will they even use it for part of the dam.
Goodness, they have been busy, haven't they? Yes, a shame to see ALL the trees getting felled. You'd think they could repurpose their older logs somehow!
