March 11 - More Beaver and the "Massillon Bayou"


This after noon we traveled to the Butter bridge area in Massillon and walked south. Almost immediately we saw a beaver splashing around in the canal. What a surprise! For years we have struggled to spot a beaver in the Beaver Marsh area, and now we are seeing one in Massillon just 2 days after our sightings at the marsh!
What was very evident today was that all the melting snow has caused flooding, making this area look like a marsh. We walked for about a mile, but it started getting dusky, so we headed back to the parking lot and lingered along the river just north until sunset. A very enjoyable walk in uncharted territory!
