Somebody's been busy

Darryl writes: "I've attached a few pictures of one of my trees that a beaver has been working on. It did this in one night. This was a nice little Poplar that I saved when I cleared out the creekside a few years back, it's about 10" in diameter.

It's on the bank of Hudson Creek off Hwy 1545 in Russell County. I don't see any beaver domiciles nearby and I don't believe that this is going to be the start of a dam; I think it was just a snack for one or more that was/were passing through. Poplar is a favorite food for them (they can actually digest cellulose)."

This squirrel was too busy gathering food to pose properly in the setting sun, he'd only allow his profile to be in the picture.
