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...

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...

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.

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.

Not Reading On the Bus: December 2013
http://notreadingonthebus.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Not Reading On the Bus. A Late Starter in Edinburgh. Thursday, 12 December 2013. The difference a day makes. The past few weeks in Edinburgh, as if to offer recompense for the advancing winter darkness, we have had day after day of technicolour Turner sunsets and the sort of Rococo dawns that cry out for a few artfully placed putti—fat little boys lolling about on the tender pink clouds wondering if they should cut down on the carbs. When I staggered aboard there were at least twice the number of people ...
