At Christmas, we had a beautiful winter with snow and mild frost. However, then the thaw came and the snow melted and the walk in such weather was not very pleasant and safe because of the slippery surface of the road. Near the beaver’s dam I noticed the felled young spruce. It’s an illegal notch. Only that the perpetrator of this is a beaver who decided to have a Christmas tree. The beaver cut the tree and then shortened it. I joked that it was probably too high for his apartment. She was right next to him in the water. I’ve never seen beavers cutting down beavers. Probably it’s a new Christmas tradition.
