A beaver pond, that had gone undetected because of the tall wetland vegetation, became visible after a late winter snowfall flattened that vegetation. It had been built the previous summer and fall. Sally and I were driving down the road a mile from our house when we observed it and watched a bald eagle go into a sudden stoop toward a wood duck. The frightened duck shot down over the dam and escaped downstream. A few days later, I entered a small blind on the edge of the pond 45 minutes before sunrise. That quickly grew from a session to an obsession and then to "A Year at a Beaver Pond." Dozens of pages of field notes and thousands of photos provided the foundation for a story. With this book, you too can sit by the dam and envision what transpires at that tenth of an acre pond. Though small, that mini ecosystem adds dramatically to the adjacent habitat. In the sediment beneath the pond, a myriad of insect larvae feed on deposited organic matter. Most of them, at some stage in their metamorphosis, become food for fish, birds, raccoons, or larger insects. In turn, fish become food for larger fish, birds, and mammals. This book is the product of observing insects, toads, and trout along with 61 species of birds and nine species of mammals that were drawn to the footprint of the pond. By the footprint, I mean the pond, the dam, and the vegetation growing at the immediate edge of the pond. Otter were elusive until one finally decided to frolic in the magical early morning light. A beaver even used a rock for a dam repair. Warblers, swallows, flycatchers, and waxwings fed on insects from tiny moth flies to long-legged craneflies. The trout feeding activity peaked when dozens were jumping during the midge hatch. A raccoon brought her young ones to sift through the sediments for edible morsels. Sandpipers and snipe probed the shallow water and the mudflats for earthworms and larvae. When mudflats were exposed, mink, a cottontail, and many birds used them for travel and feeding. The little remnant willow near the blind was searched by small birds, used as a landing spot by those feeding on flighted insects, and used by kingfishers and herons that fed on trout. Jewelweed, blooming on the dam, enticed hummingbirds and bumblebees. The ecological wonder of beaver ponds helps establish a sense of the value of beavers. By gradually overcoming the bias that they are just a nuisance, perhaps at some point, we will be able to tolerate half of the population that inhabited this continent before the massive fur harvest decimated them.

Dive into the fascinating world of beavers--the swimmers, builders, and engineers of the animal kingdom! What Goes on inside a Beaver Pond? takes kids ages 8 to 10 on a journey through a year in the life of a young beaver (called a "kit"). This is an exciting year as the young beaver leaves her family lodge and moves throughout the Yokun Brook waterways, seeking a new home for herself. Throughout the seasons, vibrant illustrations and descriptions reveal the hidden inner-workings of a beaver lodge, how beavers fell trees with their teeth and create a wetland habitat, how they collect food and ward off predators, and what daily life is like within a beaver colony. Educational side panels enhance the story with details about beaver behavior and anatomy, as well as information about what other animal inhabitants of the pond are up to throughout the year. Author Becky Cushing Gop is an environmental educator and director of Mass Audubon's Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary where the story takes place. And nature illustrator Carrie Shryock's lively and charming graphics bring the young beaver's story to life for nature-curious kids.
