Notes
The beaver dams are broken up by the current. A large amount of water must have passed through. You can see where it was pushed. There is large amounts of foam on the water. The river went from dry and dammed. To saturated, high and steady flow. The beaver has cut down almost all of the alder on left bank. In the future when the roots die, this whole bank could erode, it can be seen in the saturated sand banks already breaking off.
Parks dogs as a pollution sources in the immediate surroundings.
Snow on the ground was slippery. The path is eroding by saturated sand banks. The beaver has blocked pathways everywhere. The water is high and strong.
