I was birding at Dorothy McIlroy Bird Sanctuary a couple weeks ago ( south end of Lake Como, in Summerhill area) and saw 3 trees chewed in a classic hourglass shape, fairly close together, it looked fresh to me, and I immediately thought beavers must be living here, although I didn't see any. It was pretty cool looking.Barbara CliseSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Bert Bland <bertbland...> Date: 5/23/26 5:32 PM (GMT-05:00) To: "Candace E.

This is interesting to hear, because I was there a few days ago and there was a dead beaver at the culvert roadside in perfect condition. I was tempted to have it mounted.

I hope this stretching of the rules is interesting enough to be allowed.
There is a dead fisher along the roadside of Flatiron Rd., Goetchius FLLT Wetland Preserve: west side, north of Culvert. Pelt seems in good
condition. Probably hit by car. Potentially diseased so don't pick it up. Surprised me by large size.
