Beavers in the backyard

They’re baaack… Some eight years ago or so we had a problem with a beaver family building a dam in the creek that runs through our property. They caused some minor flooding in the neighborhood and damaged a lot of trees until the critters were relocated. Recently we’ve seen some pretty “damming” evidence that there are new beavers in the wetland area behind our house. No flooding or tree damage to any neighborhood property yet, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. By the way, that’s an eight or nine inch diameter oak tree that’s almost gnawed through.
