The bog now has a significant amount of water content. After twenty to twenty-five years of being mostly dry, this Spring has seen the effects of increased beaver damming over the Fall and Winter. The beavers have re-established the old dam at the start of the outlet stream (where bridge Charlie is and shown in a previous post). They have also enhanced the dams on the primary feeder stream (near bridge Echo), shown here.

It is interesting to see the higher water levels in the bog despite the damming of the feeder stream. In contrast, down at Woodbury Pond, where the bog outlet stream empties into, the water level is much lower than usual. I suspect they have opened the dam that controls the pond’s level for some reason.
