Hi Bill,
Common things are common.  With a beaver nearby, there is a good
chance that you've got a beaver munching a tree.  Check out the site
for recent beaver cuttings if you can still get to the location.

True, it's much more fun to come up with an exotic explanation.  I
watched with amusement a TV show postulating extra-terrestrial aliens
and what they were doing to farm animals.  The show hosts and a
rancher found a cow with the eyes and rectum eaten out.  "No animal
would have done this," was the conclusion.  However, I've watched a
skunk munch on a dead cow carcass.  I've no doubt that the postulated
"aliens" were actually a nocturnal skunk gnawing out the part of the
cow carcass most easily accessible.  Visiting in the night, very
mysterious.  Skunks from Mars, go figure.  Hope I don't get abducted
by one.

Kevin
