(Joe Hall)Indigo Bunting. (Joe Hall)A nocturnal mammal, beavers are most often observed at dusk and dawn when they leave their lodges to gather necessities and feed on water plants to supplement their tree eating. They slap their flat, powerful, scaly tails on the water’s surface to scare away predators. Alone on a pond at dusk, this sounds like a huge fish jumping out of the water and slamming back down. Stay clear or you might get soaked. (Photographed by Jane Naliboff)Beaver slap. (Photographed by Jane Naliboff)Beaver slap splash. (Photographed by Jane Naliboff)Beaver slap big splash.
