| Tracy and Bruce shared this great set of pictures of winter mountain beaver activity from several locations in the high sierras. Mountain beaver continue to be active beneath the snow pack although many of the details of this are not known. These pictures show some plant and root materials, and scat from in and around mountain nests and latrine areas. Pussy paws have been identified as one of the plant species found here. The nest and caches were located several feet above ground level in the snow pack. This is very exciting information and the site will hopefully continue to be monitored in the future.
