Eddie, I'm in Greenbelt. I was fishing a little creek, called Indian Creek, in Beltsville when this happened. I went over there the other day, and someone had broken down the beaver dam. The little fuzz balls were busilly cutting down more trees.
You could see some of the details of the original dam. It was in a sine wave across the creek, and incorporated a sofa bed, a plastic swimming pool, two brand new railroad ties and three tires. Along with many trees and much dirt. The beaver house is about six feet tall. I hope they suceed. In the middle of all the mess and hustle and bustle, in addition to all of fish, there were deer, herons (greater and lesser) kingfishers, geese, ducks, muskrats, turtles and snakes. I guess many suburbanites don't want these kind of neighbors, but it's great to see the persistancy of nature fighting back.
