Little Beaver

Today is Wednesday, January 4, 2012.  It is only about 45 minutes into the new day, and the temperature is minus 4.2 degrees F.
Yesterday I went back in the woods and field on a sightseeing journey as I often do.  I noted that Little Beaver is keeping an opening in the ice near his den.  Also there was a thawed area right near the bank where his den is.  I don’t know if that is intentional, or merely a side effect of heat escaping from the den.  As a side note it can be seen that the bark has been stripped from some of the small limbs which was undoubtedly used as food.  The remaining twigs, minus their bark, are seen floating in the open water.  They will be used for future dam building or home repairs as necessary.
