Beavers eat ferns

The evening before last I was out at the Big Pond with friends and was able to film this beaver, eating the fronds of a fern.

Here is the link: it's the first time I have seen beaver eating fern fronds. It must have taken them there from some place along the shore where there are ferns.

This is a day of downpour. I have managed, at last, to discover how to delete all the old bits of video on my camcorder and have uploaded the most recent clip on to YouTube.

I was impressed by the galls on this birch tree while looking around for a place to fix my trail camera.
