Southland Beaver: Santa Ynez River Beavers Pulling Through in the Drought
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2014/10/santa-ynez-river-beavers-pulling.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Santa Ynez River Beavers Pulling Through in the Drought. It was with some trepidation that I returned to my study site on the Santa Ynez River on Sunday October 12th 2014. The good news is that a water release was ongoing from Cachuma Reservior (senior water rights is a powerful thing even in drought years! What I was worried about was that the period of no water was potentially devastating to the beaver. After all the last time I went to this area in late July. The first ten...

http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2015/02/mongolia-has-more-progressive-beaver.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Mongolia Has A More Progressive Beaver Reintroduction Policy Than California. Might just be the new normal for the upcoming century. Now I had always heard about Mongolia having beaver- yeah that Mongolia of the Khans, the steppe, and the Gobi desert. Despite our image of dry desert plains Mongolia has a variety of habitats and in areas is wooded with actual running rivers. And in several of the rivers still reside Eurasian beaver ( Castor fiber. But what got a little media at...

Southland Beaver: State of the Beaver Address… Improving!!
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2014/12/state-of-beaver-address-improving.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. State of the Beaver Address… Improving! As the year ends there are a lot of good things to be thankful for when it comes to beaver/human relations and there have been a lot of promising developments that encourage and emboldens the struggle for beaver believers. On the local front we saw the publication of Lanman et al. Historical Range of Beaver in Coastal California: A Review of the Evidence. Which I discussed here. 9/23/2013 Beaver Safari on the Santa Ynez River. Despite the...

Southland Beaver: Beaver Safari on the Santa Ynez River
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2013/09/beaver-safari-on-santa-ynez-river.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. Beaver Safari on the Santa Ynez River. Ok full disclosure, I have never seen a live wild beaver before. I am a beaver virgin. I know, funny I write a beaver blog? So in order to rectify this I set out last Friday to the nearest river system that I know has them, the Santa Ynez River. Santa Ynez River. Solvang CA. Beautiful river, no? A little further upriver and I came across this large pool, maybe an old abandoned dam? I pushed forward into the riparian jungle, more determine...

Southland Beaver: Mojave River Beaver
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2014/04/mojave-river-beaver.html
Monday, April 7, 2014. Mojave River @ Afton Canyon. wiki Mar 2010. I am always drawn to things that live, and even thrive, in habitats where one would not presumably expect them to be. Hence my interest in southern steelhead which lead me to beaver and starting southland beaver. Quizzical looks, blank stares and "I doubt it man". So what is up with these desert beavers? How do they make a living out there? Of the Mojave beaver dams. Link to: all photos trashablanca. And keep in mind that this beaver crea...

Southland Beaver: The Blair Witch Beavers of the Santa Ynez River
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-blair-witch-beavers-of-santa-ynez.html
Monday, November 3, 2014. The Blair Witch Beavers of the Santa Ynez River. All right today I want to go over my idea on what the hell those intrepid beavers of the Santa Ynez River were doing making all those strange rock piles across the river when the river was essentially drying up. They were not making the beginning stages of a dam but were instead actively hydro engineering the river itself to best suit their needs! This is my working hypothesis and let me explain my reasoning. Support me on Patreon.

Southland Beaver: Southern California's Santa Margarita River: Undammed by Man, But Not Beaver
http://southlandbeaver.blogspot.com/2014/07/southern-californias-santa-margarita.html
Friday, July 11, 2014. Southern California's Santa Margarita River: Undammed by Man, But Not Beaver. One of the more astonishing things I come across when I talk to people about beaver in arid southern California is that not only have they never thought about beaver here - they are shocked to learn Castor canadensis. Kindly furnished me with the below map as well as additional detailed listings of the several hundred beaver translocations that took place in the early to mid 20th century. Now for this pos...
