Report Violation

These are days when I love my job. I spent the afternoon with my jeans rolled up to my knees wading through a small stream trying to find a beaver. This morning we received a report of another tree lost to the animal along the bike path near the Park at Riverwalk. As you may recall, this is the same area where at least nine cottonwoods were mowed down by a beaver in January. (See this story to read about that incident and the ensuing controversy that gained national attention.) There's a small stream of water that runs from the bike path out toward the Kern River bed, so I decided to follow it and see what I found. No beaver sighting -- not a big surprise since they're nocturnal -- but along the way I passed numerous trees that had been felled and chewed, and I even spotted a small dam. I put the pics in the accompanying slideshow (click on the photos to the left).
