As we got closer, we could see that the beavers had been very busy and quite ambitious: they had successfully felled several trees with trunks nearly a foot in diameter, and were well on their way on a few others:
One of the trees seemed like it should have already fallen over; only a slender twig remained holding up a twenty foot high tree:
No doubt the beavers will return tonight, and we'll be awakened by an almighty crash as they finally bring it down and drag it to the water.
Tomorrow I will go look, and if I'm lucky I'll have The Mother Of All Beaver Logs to put on my piano.

Interesting location for a beaver. Is he circled by houses? Has he an escape route?Mm
The lake is pretty much entirely surrounded by houses, although King County constructed a fish ladder and "Beaver Deceiver" to protect the salmon which spawn downstream. He has no need for escape, because everything he needs is right there at the pond.
Any progress on the new "beaver log"?Mm

I haven't been back around for a walk. Alex did with her boyfriend (James) today; I'll ask her if there's anything left of those trees.
