Inside the Beavers Lodge

Inside a Beavers Lodge shows beavers grooming, working on their bed, and sleeping. Of special interest is the beaver cutting slices off sticks that appear to be for the purpose of making bedding material. I have seen then bringing in grass for bedding but never this type of behavior. I read a general account of this behavior which indicated it was the female preparing a bed for her kits. The beaver doing this is the lighter colored of the two so perhaps it is the female. Watch carefully and you can eventually see two Daddy Longlegs in the Lodge. A mink frequently comes into the lodge to look around. Last year the beaver cam showed a mink bringing a fish into the lodge and eating it.
