Beaver Colony<br /> <br /> With the warming temperatures our resident beavers came out from their winter home beneath the ice of the Gooseberry River. I stopped to check on them after work one evening. Almost the whole colony was out and about enjoying the spring like weather. One of the larger adults came up the hill to get a birch tree to re-supply the food pile. He didn't care that I was only 15 feet from him with my camera. His goal was food. I suppose after eating soggy bark for five months some new birch bark would be pretty tasty.
