Beaver Pond Wildlife: Part 3- Early to Mid Summer

The special habitat that is a beaver pond hosts more natural drama than many people might imagine. In this multi-part series, we highlight the lives of the pond's inhabitants both to educate and entertain, in the hope that the importance and significance of this unique habitat will be appreciated, welcomed, and protected.

This film series spans a year's time at typical beaver ponds in New England.

In Part 1 (https://youtu.be/zGyMLG2wnBE), we looked at what takes place in early spring, as the pond comes back to life after a cold winter.

In Part 2, (https://youtu.be/tSr_RE7PAa8) we followed wildlife in late spring, as nesting season progresses, new life develops, and young beavers disperse.

In this, Part 3, nesting season has wrapped up for most bird species near the pond, but there's plenty happening both above and below the pond's surface.

We'll see:
- a red-shouldered hawk hunting at the pond.
- a variety of creatures underwater, and some of the drama occurring there that most people will never personally witness.
- the lives and significance of the odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), below and above water.
- belted kingfishers, as they dive into the pond for fish.
- mink and otters
- beavers at work maintaining the dam.
- some things about bullfrogs that will amuse, and may shock you.
- and much more.
