WILD LIFE AT THE BEAVER DAM

This video depicts the beavers work to rebuild a dam in northern Minnesota that spontaneously collapsed in 2016. (see my video (BEAVER DAM COLLAPSE ) Rick Smith, shot in 2016, it has had almost 6 million views). It has taken the beavers nearly 5 years to almost totally restore this dam to its former glory. As you will see, a wide variety of creatures use it to conduct their daily activities. The beavers help to create this wilderness world and it wouldn’t be the same without them. They are amazing creatures. This video was filmed with Covert Blackhawk LTE trail cams and DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. I did lose 2 trail cameras in this process. The beavers didn't like my cameras being placed on their dam and toppled the posts they were mounted on into their pond totally destroying two cameras. I did manage to retrieve the SD cards form the swamped cameras though. You will note some of my videos have an extreme downward view. This is the camera starting to topple into the water. i did end up with some really good shots from this angle so in some ways i made lemonade out of lemons.
