A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.

Photo of a newly built beaver damn, made of many small branches, truly a feat of animal engineering

Where can I subscribe to regular updates on their progress?

We've had a couple good rains, transforming what used to be a muddy creekbed into a clearly defined pond!

A thick tree with ambitious beaver gnaw marks all around the base. Not quite deep enough to fell the tree, but they'll get through it eventually
