Our recent beaver program was a success. Time spent on the observation deck rewarded us with glimpses of two beavers swimming along their dam and interacting! Thanks to Bob Fetterman for taking this photograph and sharing it with us.

To the world of birders and nature enthusiasts: we have a nesting eastern phoebe visible from the bottom of the stairs of the observation tower! She has made her nest under the eaves of the tower's roof, a common spot for this species to nest. This is a great viewing and photography opportunity; please remember to give her plenty of space, though. If she flies away, you are too close. On average, eastern phoebes lay a clutch of two to six eggs. These will hatch about sixteen days after incubation has begun.
