It's on the bank of Hudson Creek off Hwy 1545 in Russell County. I don't see any beaver domiciles nearby and I don't believe that this is going to be the start of a dam; I think it was just a snack for one or more that was/were passing through. Poplar is a favorite food for them (they can actually digest cellulose)."
