Beavers

We all took a walk back down to the Auxvasse creek that borders the property.  The lowlands back there are filled with giant sycamores and a few giant oaks.  We saw evidence of beavers going to work.  I believe it was a cotton wood tree.  We’re wondering why they chew the bark off of the trees after they cut them down.  Maybe to keep them from rotting in their dam?

At the part of the Auxvasse that borders the property there’s a large rockbar.  Kita loved rolling around in the sandy areas.  There’re also quite a few mussel shells back there.  I’m sure the beavers have been enjoying those.
