Two beavers, one large, one small, break down a tree trunk so they can tow it upstream under the ice of the North Branch of the Winooski River. The youngster was not very efficient; the adult, extremely so. You could hear its teeth on the wood clearly from the bridge above, not unlike a shovel scraping rock. They spent last week doing this at this site under a bridge in the middle of #Montoelier #Vermont. In plain sight by a bridge over which many walk each day. Most people walked past oblivious. #montp #vt #wildlife (at Spring Street Bridge)
