A row of trees near the Rockcliffe Yacht Club was close enough to the Ottawa River to attract beavers.

Reader André Audette took the picture, and noted that the beavers can take down trees faster than a National Capital Commission crew clearing dead ashes.

His photo clearly shows the bite marks left in the trunks by the beaver’s powerful jaws.

While the trunks remain on the ground, branches are neatly clipped off and removed. Beavers drag branches and saplings back to their lodges as food for the winter.
