One year on a beaver pond in northern Minnesota

- This video is a compilation of the wildlife that crossed a beaver dam just south of Voyageurs National Park from March 2019-April 2020.
This video was literally a year in the making! Beaver dams can be wildlife highways in boreal environments like the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, allowing all sorts of wildlife to easily cross wetland habitats which might be otherwise difficult to get across.
While the wildlife is undoubtedly neat, we particularly enjoyed watching the changing of the seasons on this beaver dam! It summarizes life in the Northwoods: cold snowy winters and hot, humid summers with lots of vegetation!
We are curious to hear what everyone enjoyed about the video!

Shout out to the beavers that made all of this possible! Hard working little fellas
Destructive little bastards
And non-unionized, too.
:)
Yes. Poor beavers get a bad rep, but they are extremely valuable to many animal species!
@@ChiliblockTrading No they aren't. Their dams and the subsequent flooded areas that result are actually very beneficial to all animal species. It creates its own ecosystem. Do research before spouting nonsense.
That's cinnamon phase black bear was gorgeous!
1:43?
:)
@@ezrapotter4631 No hump but I thought it was a young grizzly. Which would be very rare in that area but not impossible. He's going to be a big boy no matter.
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki I'm no expert, but that bear didn't look like it had grizzly bear ears or the right muzzle shape, so I'd bet it's a black bear.
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki there’s no way a grizzly could make its way to Minnesota
April 22 is the best! 0:27 LOL! Gotta love a biologist with a sense of humor! Keep up the amazing work! Beautiful wolves!
He’s a wild animal looking for his mother.
@@Pootie_Tan I thought it was the Great Northern Green Capped Booby.
lol
That's an NPS maintenance uniform, so that's probably not a biologist. Besides that most NPS biologists aren't uniformed.
I thought it was Bambi’s very distantly cousin
Cinnabear...and a very rare ....crazy human....great stuff
lol
What is this be wildering creature? 0:25
Ah, that you see an enthusiastic biologist in its natural habitat
Oh i though it was a hippiust treehuggerust
:)
I was wondering about the same thing.. Very odd lil creature i must say!
A beaver, couldn’t see the tail...a muskrat?
Not a biologist, that's an NPS maintenance uniform. Could be trails maintenance.
This is so stunning and to have NO human element there except the trailcam. This is utterly astounding.
@no yes is that what that wacko thing was?!
And the dude running at the cam like a velociraptor
@no yes Oooh! So this was a human?! 😮
:)
This is what the world should look like
This is the coolest thing I've seen in, like, forever.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree. Much better than watching cities burn
:)
@Gappie Al Kebabi Wow, you're so cool and witty.
This is amazing, I loved seeing all the different animals crossing. The camera positioning is great and I really enjoyed watching the seasons change. Thanks for bring us this amazing video!
:)
I could watch this for hours.
I could watch this four hours.
:)
It is so cool watching the vegetation regenerate over the summer months.
So relaxing to watch! Love how the beaver is always working and checking on things lol
Beautiful cinnamon colored bear!
this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen, it makes this boy from England want to move to Minnesota more and more
:)
Yeah it is a fantastic state, I’m so lucky to live here. You see, a long time ago when settlers first came to the US, they pushed the predators and big animals up north, well everywhere except in Minnesota. Minnesota’s northern wilderness is vastly untouched, and we passed conservation laws really early on, so we still have a lot of fantastic wildlife in the upper half of the state, and with modern techniques, the animals are spreading further and further south!

So why don’t you then? That is, if you haven’t done so already...
Joshua Brook, have you moved to Minnesota since your comment about moving from England to Minnesota?
I enjoyed the moment when the North American bearded wolf appeared AKA: Biologists Backpackus Bipedus
A wonderful escape from the news of the day. I may have to watch this a bunch more times! Thank you for posting. 🦫🐺
Better than any television show.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could leave more of nature as is. Beautiful!
I went to the International Wolf Center in Ely,Minnesota and being from Connecticut I was so impressed to see wolfs and how gracious and big they were. A beautiful place to visit. Thanks for those that work and have worked there !!! Keep up the good work !!,
seeing the setting change with each season is really a sight to see .
Very nicely done! One should never forget that the world is much larger than what humans experience.
If they ever domesticate the one at 0:26, I'd consider adopting one. LOL! Very cool video!!! Thanks for sharing!
This is our planet. Beautiful and vivid.
Absolutely beautiful, love from Scotland 🏴
Love these kind of formats. No intro no bullshit just get to the video from the first second! Bravo!
*Hello from Siberia. Many thanks to the author for an interesting video. I live in Siberia and everything I know. Привет из Сибири. спасибо автору за интересное видео. Я живу в Сибири и мне всё это знакомо*
Beaver be like "wish people would stop cutting through my backyard!"..
Beautiful! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much!
Okay, I'm watching this quite seriously, and then the guy comes in and completely cracks me up.
I smiled through the whole thing! I love Minnesota! ❤️
I really enjoyed this video! It gives me great joy and peace to see animals and nature be wild and free, without the disruption of humans. Gob bless & Thank you 😊🙏🏼🌈💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so soothing. Especially the frogs and insects at night in the warm months. What a beautiful and diverse place
I love this sooo much, thank you. been in cali for almost 40 years and gosh I miss minnesota sometimes. thank you!
That part of the pond looks similar to the one 300 feet behind my house in Vermont. Seven beavers live there now and have seen almost every animal at my pond as seen in this video. I love living here with all the different neighbors.
Suvh a wonderful and sensitively made video. Its so relaxing, my heart swells with love n respect for these lovely animals going about their daily business so peacefully without rancour jealousy n hatred. We humans have a lot to learn from them.
Thanks gor the treat. Love from India.
Gets better each time I watch!
the first shot is insane
Wonderful! I could watch this all day!! Thanks for posting :) (from New Zealand, where we do not have any of the wonderful levels of wildlife that you do...)
I really enjoyed that strange looking creature prancing through...scratching behind his ear!! I'm going to have to do some research on that one!!
Lived in northern Minnesota for years....love it, & miss it. Moved south for my wife's medical issues...but I still miss the north country.
Amazing and Beautiful!! Thank you.
I just found these compilations and they're so relaxing!
This is like heaven for all those like me who live in the eastern part of the world!Thanks so much for the videos🙏🏻keep them coming👍
Thanks for no music. Love the natural, ambient sounds!
This looks exactly like a beaver damn right behind my house in Northern MN. With out game cams all of this beauty goes unnoticed.
We loved this video! Thanks for capturing it - I'm sure it was a lot of work.
Wonderful compilation. Thank you so much for sharing !
Really cool to see the environment change over time.
Dam nice footage!
amazing how the Beaver creates all this for everything to enjoy!😁✌
Yeah, it's like an animal spa.
@@MimifromChicago and monty pythonesque!
Beautiful & serene! Thx! Well done!
Truly fascinating to watch. Nature is beautiful
How nice this is to see. Who in the world gives a thumb's down to Nature?
Very nice to see what goes on during the seasons
feel free to do this as many times as you like. I really enjoy these
Grew up in Bloomington Mn during the early 80's and there was a huge track of swamp, marsh created by beaver ponds over the course of 30ish years the ponds became permanent. It was my playground during adolescence. 5 star video.
Mel D, lol, small world. Nope, Where 9 mile creek flows into Bloomington from Edina. There were a series of beaver dams that over time formed a couple of permanent ponds in the footage and one that was huge but disappeared when one dam was destroyed by the DNR. This was in the late 70's before Lake Normandale was created. By the early 90s the creek had been partially rerouted to build the current SS Building. There's still 25 lbs Northerns in there. Be well!
Love looking at trail cam photos.
Such beauty and diversity
Great place for a trail cam. It’s neet to see at the beginning all the animals were zipping through there . Then when all the plants were in full bloom they had a tougher time getting through there. Lots of different animals going through there. 👍
This is so peaceful and enjoyable to watch. Best channel on TH-cam I’ve come across for a while. Nature is just so beautiful. Thanks for capturing this great footage
That buck was on the prowl for some lovin'
I have been stuck in a massive city for a couple years but lived very rural a lot and miss it. This video is a great way to sort of visit those places
Amazing video. So many beautiful animals!
I love echo from the calling of birds
Thanks for the peace and tranquility nature offers.. it's another form of music to my ears.. nature nurtures..
Thank you for documenting this Northwoods Magic..
Thank you so much for this video!😊
.. I VERY-MUCH ENJOYED WATCHING THIS ..
Very nice video. I especially liked the immature goshawk at 5:18.
Beavers are so important and the work they do is too! Yay! Awesome video.
Each animal so graceful and beautiful.
I grew up outside Ely on a section of the marshland. Absolutely love it. Reminds me of what I'm missing although I'm only 18.
Amazing! I love the way the beaver grabbed the grass on Jun 6th.
Thanku for all your hard work!!
There's a bear bum at the 2.51 mark ! Lol. Loved the minks playing in the snow at 4.37
Is that not an otter?
@@scotslassie6991 Yeah, I think those are otters.
I think they're pine martens. I could be wrong.
Seriously gorgeous footage.👍🏽👍🏽
Fascinating to watch. Quite a variety of MN animals. Impressive camera work over one year. Excellent!
Just gorgeous! New habitat created before your very eyes! ❤️
The beauty is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
Being from Florida, seeing snow on the ground in April is mind boggling.
This is amazing!
This is sooo incredible!!!!!!!
Very good. So cool to sorta focus on the one log. 👍
That was so awesome. Thank you for putting it together!
Great video! Lots of animals✔ NO MUSIC✔ all natural sound✔ well done

The really skinny bear with the hat was interesting
Thanks for sharing! Fun to see, will be watching again soon.
Beavers. My favorite!
Love the video! Minnesota was too cold too long for me so I am in the Philippines. Great place to visit or retire to.
Beavers !!! Keeping it real for two million years.
I wish everyone knew how important they really are!
Love the wild life.I love the bears
