Blue heron nests maybe?

Might be Osprey nests.

Those trees days are numbered !
Does look like GBH nest, or you have over-sized house wrens there.
Been my experiences as well Boco, water and cameras don't mix well just like water and beer, it ain't going to happen

Yes, I have about 50-75 of them on my pond.

The lodge isn't in the frame but you can see the sign everywhere.

Boco I bet you didn't realize Texas was so big!

Those pictures of the Texas ponds look alot like the ponds out back of my place in ontario. Must be nice there too.

Thats a nice pic,leftlane,it reminds me of a place on the RR between North Bay and Temagami if it had tall white pines.
What are all those deciduous trees-look like good beaver habitat for sure.

Those are some great pictures. Do you use a camera or camera phone?

Thanks aix-I try to get some of the scenery into the background when I snap catch pics too.I use a mid price (kind of cheap compared to some) fuji waterproof camera.
My old olympus gave up the ghost after a beaver baptism,so I bought the waterproof one.

So tough to get snares in place !

Hey Rally,thats a cool rack on the front of the little tundra.

Yep, nice work platform and keeps Popple out of the windshield some too. Two wingnuts and two pins to remove it. Holds a couple good beaver to keep the skis down when the trailer gets heavy.

Canadian translation of popple is Trembling aspen...... the tree trembles when it hears a beaver chewing near by.
And in keeping with a winter theme.


and who said beaver cant make 500 yards under ice.


The house in the foreground a beaver swam out past one already caught, and 2 minutes later heard the trap go off in the house on the corner

Rally's pictures (except the first one) look like they could have been taken yesterday the way MN weather has been.

The first one is a beaver dam. I'm standing on one end and the other end is at the tree line way out there!

The wife likes to watch the beaver in the evening when she comes to our camp.
