If a tree falls...

So my wife and I took a walk at a nearby nature preserve and saw these trees.

Is this the work of beavers? I'm not exactly the outdoor type...

My grandfather graduated high school in 1930 in Chicago and the only work he found was planting trees with the CCC in Western Michigan.  Better not be his trees.   

Yup. We've got quite a few around here. They usually drop them into or close to the water.

Yes, definitely busy little beavers.

Dad had ~1/3 of his land get flooded due to beavers.  Those trees were dropped by the little furry bastards.

This is in northern Michigan. Whew. 

Nice Beaver...

Isn't everything better with a turbo(ine)

Turbo Beaver

I've heard that Wynonna's got herself a big brown one.

Wait, the fat rodents don't drag their work away?  Why work?

Beavers indeed.  They're not particularly smart.  Their instinct is to cut down stuff near the water so that some of it might be useful.  I'm not used to seeing that many larger trees being harvested.  Most of what they usually cut is stuff that is under 4" so they can drag it to make lodges and dams.  Looks like they also chose White Oak.  Tough teeth on that one.

Lord, just so long as they don't stack 'em three high. That would be an environmental disaster.

If beavers were human, they would be vilified by the green people.

As it turned out, she sustained a minor injury which led her to the conclusion that she actually had a porcupine.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

Primus sucks. 

If a tree falls in the forest, and your wife is out of town, are you still wrong?
