Incredible Wildlife Living in A Tucson Wash mp4
In this video you will find the abundant variety of wild life living in the wash just feet from our home in Tucson AZ . We feel so lucky to be able to witness the interaction between all the wildlife here and the interconnected nature in which they live out their lives. I did find that there was limited water sources here for them so I decided to give the wildlife a break and put a water hole in. It was appreciated by them with hundreds visiting daily. The Water Hole was dug by hand and connected to our irrigation system for daily fillings. I placed the Water hole in a wash 30 feet from our patio. Most of these animals we have been able to see in person but our Covert brand code Black LTE trail camera doesn’t miss any of the action. I also use WYZE Wifi cameras for some of the clips. This footage was gathered from April to August 2024.

I installed a water hole in my back yard wash in Tucson. Many creatures frequent it to get drinks. This King snake showed up this summer and seamed to enjoy the cool water on this 106 degree day. I did not see him eat any critters so who knows why he visited. Maybe to cool off.

Wildlife at the Water Hole
มุมมอง 19K3 ปีที่แล้ว
After observing quite a bit of wildlife in the wash outside our patio I decided to dig a small shallow water hole. I lined it with a rubber pond liner and covered it with boulders to protect it from Javelinas. I installed a Covert Lte black Hawk trail camera and later added a wifi camera. The footage in this video is mostly from the Covert camera and took 5 months to acquire. After combing thro...

This was great to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Y'all should have never allowed it to get that high! What was the downstream result!
Did it fail last year or still going?
all well and good, but what about the damage you caused downstream why not video that???
Beavers "it's never over, we will rebuild".
I still think about this video all the time
Thank you video away from the edge you might get more people to watch
Unfortunately we are working with fixed trail cam footage. Some times repositioning the frame is not possible. It is what it is. Good thought though Thanks.
Looks like a washed out wasteland now. Beaver said so long
I wonder how far and where that water went. Crazy. Gotta go somewhere! Probably flooded out neighborhoods miles away. Flooded a roadway.
The water rush did wash out three other Beaver Dams down stream. I don’t think human property was damaged.
I would love to spend some time in that country with a canoe and tent!
Coyote never noticed the cottontail @1:05
Wow! that's some great footage - :) 👍👍
Awesome clips. Thank you for sharing
Too much rain and the dam burst……….eerily similar to a situation on our SWB.
Dam
I know they are called beavers, but I've never once seen a beaver beaving.
I live in a place called Beaverbank and we take care of our buddies. We have plenty of wildlife and I've spent a few evenings with the resident ground hogs and an adult male porcupine walking around my yard. Believe it or not a porcupine is one of the more tolerant towards people just don't get to close.lol
It’s amazing how a little bit of water in the desert 🌵 will draw soo many animals.
Nice! Is it still water or some movement or recirculating water?
The pond gets filled by my irrigation system twice a day.
Location location location. That's the important fact regarding beaver dams. In some places their dams have the potential to flood properties and roads or if they collapse like this one, the resulting flood damage can be very extensive. For that reason I am hesitant to take sides in the argument for or against permitting beaver dams on private or public property. Each case is a stand alone matter and ultimately on private land it comes down to responsible land management and the landowners desires for land use. And wanton killing./trapping of beavers is also poor behavior and certainly covered by state and/or federal laws. For that reason anyone looking to purchase land where beavers are commonly found, would be foolish not to check into laws and conversations regulations. In this case it sounds like no permanent damage was done. The collapse or potential collapse of beaver dams there and elsewhere should be looked at like forest management practices regarding fires and planned burns to control and protect from wild forest fires.
Beavers will build it back, you can bet on it. Was beautiful before the dam failed.
I use to deer hunt on state hunting land in northern Michigan, my blind was in a tree on the other side of a small creek , beavers took over and now it’s a easy 20 acre pond
Get forty feet of six inch perforated Corrigated flexible drainage pipe. Place 2/3 of pipe upstream and 1/3 down stream of the dam inside the area that was excavated. Clamp down the upstream portion into the lake (stream) bed.
You got your land back
This must have been the setting that inspired a cartoon on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Everything about it matches.
What a mess!! I would think you would try to prevent this in the future!
“Sir. There’s been two weeks of heavy rainfall. The dam is under immense stress. What do we do?” Beaver dressed in clothes for an 19th century French general: “There’s nothing we can do” *Amour Plastique plays*
Amazing! Amazing! Thank you for leading me to this video. So heartwarming to see it back to where it was. So wonderful to see these hardworking beaver at work. Their level of intelligence is beyond understanding.
The dam is almost 7 years old and sittings at 9 feet. Fully restored. Last week Northern Minnesota got 8 to 12 inches of rain but the dam held. We were very concerned about another collapse! Wew! Saved by luck.
Hopefully they come back😊
I bet they have rebuilt this place again after the collapse.
You bet, took them 5 years to get the dam built up to its original hight of 9 ft. Only problem is now the dam is vulnerable to a heavy rain collapse again. It seams to occur evert 7 years or so, we did think about putting a culvert on top to limit it but decided to let mother nature decide. See some of my update videos. Lots of wildlife using the pond and dam.

Why all the rocks in there? I saw on previous videos that wasn’t the case.
Sorry for the late response. Had to place rocks in the water hole this spring. We had a bumper crop of baby Quail chicks this year. The rocks are there to prevent accidental drowning of chicks. I decided to leave them there year round also keeps the Javelina from taking baths.
The rocks are there to protect the Quail chicks now due this spring. The rocks also are there to discourage the Javelina from getting in the water hole.
Did the beavers ever rebuild the dam ?
The dam is up to its original hight 9 ft high. Any big rain storm in the future will probably wipe it out again.
Nature doing it's thing. Like in New Orleans. And they rebuild, only to be flooded again in 20 years.
Upon returning home to find their compound completely gone, the beavers confronted the landowners and there was an altercation. Beaver Bob: Maybe I use your skinny legs in my next lodge build, you terrorist. Human Jim: Not before I kick your tail, you bucktooth trespasser !
Did the beaver get a permit. was it inspected?
A few mile down. They wonder why they just had a flash flood. It must be climate change as seen on tv
Enjoy the new beauty.
Largest beaver dam is in northern Alberta, Canada. You can actually see it from the space station.
Appreciate the explanation. Beavers can save and preserve so much fresh water which the US needs. They should be protected
Umm, you seem to forget the damage beavers cause. They are a nuisance and certainly don't need to be protected. Make good hats though.
Beavers can terra form our planet back to 💯 perfect. Just sayin
Holy SNAP
God dam beavers!
We did look for gold. Even used a metal detector. No luck
There's gold in there!!!
that's a whole lot of water.
Does anyone know how wizera is today? I mean, did the beavers repair the dam or do they simply not live there anymore?
Very interesting! I'm from Canada. Any places in your area where I can photograph wildlife?
Getting close to the next Dam Collapse as 7 years is nearly up
Beautiful... I love it!💋
