Le Cafe Castor

Article Abstract:

Beaver ponds and lodges can provide excellent habitat for birds, such as Canada geese, flycatchers and herons. Even the dead trees killed by being submerged in the pond provide nesting sites and food for birds as insects attack the dead wood. (Beavers are in the family Castoridae.)
