Beavers observed building lodges and dams along the Rock
The piece describes beaver lodges with underwater entrances and two-room interiors, the upper living chamber and a lower food store. It notes beavers produce two to six kits yearly, stay with parents two years, then mate and build their own lodges. Beavers have incisors that grow continually and can gnaw two-foot trunks. Dams seen on the Rock north and west of town invite observation.
