  • Interested in observing a wide variety of wildlife? There are few, if any, better places to sit down and quietly watch for mammals, birds, amphibians, insects, fish, and reptiles than at a beaver pond. It's nature's magnet habitat. A beaver pond is not merely a place where beavers happen to live; it’s a natural community like no other, that draws together a large percentage of the animal species of the region.
    This film series spans a year's time at typical beaver ponds in New England. In Part 1, we'll look at what takes place in early spring, as the pond comes back to life after a cold winter.
    "Part 2 - Late Spring" is at • Beaver Pond Wildlife: ...

    Kudos to you for showing how much diversity and beauty a Beaver can bring to an area.

    I once swam in a rough ten acre beaver pond in northwest Oregon. The diversity of life in that one pond was amazing! There were bass, bluegill, crappie, and carp among fish.There were several varieties of snails and periwinkle. Bullfrogs, other native smaller frogs, and newts or salamanders resided there as well. The depth of this pond averaged four to six feet, although I found one hole that had to be at least sixteen feet.
    All this, according to the landowner, had been started by four young beavers about twelve years prior, and built upon by succeeding generations. She and her son showed me the dam they began with, and how much it had been continually expanded over the years. It was a marvel of engineering, and I noticed the beavers picked construction sites that would yield the most benefit with the least amount of effort.
    I could have not been more impressed.

    There is a fantastic beaver pond on the evergreen valley road just off rte.113 in Chatham NH...right on the maine border near the evans notch wilderness.There is even a nice blind where you can observe in relative camouflage.Its one of my most favorite places in the white mountains of maine and N.H...It is huge and well worth exploring if you ever find yourself up near Fryeburg Maine..

    My mom had a 4-acre manmade pond (a dredged-out marsh) in front of her CT home that was frequently visited by hooded mergansers. Most years we also had a red-tailed hawk take up residence overlooking the pond, and occasionally we would see it swoop down and grab a fish. No beavers or muskrats however! It averaged 10 to 12 feet deep, with one pocket that was about 20 feet.

    Another wonderful wildlife documentary, looking forward to part II, reminds me growing up on in south Florida back in the 50/60s, spending hours tramping around in the Everglades, just exploring and observing, before everything got developed, wish I had taken up photography as I have always enjoyed exploring nature, wherever I’ve traveled over the years, however everything has changed, gators were endangered back in those days but are numerous theses days, while many common animals have all but disappeared from south Florida as developers keep encroaching on what little remains outside on Everglades national park, and invasive species like the pythons etc, have impacted them as well, anyways, I’ve enjoyed this very much, be interesting to see how climate change impacts these areas in the years to come, as I’ve also notice a serious decline in insects, everywhere...thank you!

    i love hiking by the beaver dam and beaver den in my area. theyre one of the most important creatures for restoring the wetlands that humans destroy with their vast settlement. wetlands are rich with wildlife and needed to keep forests "wet" and avoid devastating wild fires. i love beavers and their work restoring human damage is phenomenonal. 🦫 ❤❤❤

    Being new to NC coast I find the difference and the similarity of the wildlife and habitat fascinating! I grew up down on the Gulf Coast of Fla/Ala and spent many hours just observing how nature wastes nothing and improves even the most barren areas. Life does indeed ...find a way! That mallard female trying to nest in a tree illustrates my point. Thank you for your effort to share this. Liked, subbed, shared and........DING!
