The second one is before/after comparison of a beaver dam nearby.
Beavers (two pictured in the top panel, one at the center and the other at the left edge though blurred) were making their dam bigger over the spring. Last month I stood close to the flooded part of the path to take the top picture. The trail on the other side of the creek was also almost flooded, it's close to some houses, and some large trees by the trail fell because of beavers. Two days later I and my wife went back to see how beavers were doing, only to find that somebody (the City?) breached the dam. I feel a bit sorry for beavers but I guess this had to be done. They'll be fine, they've been fine before they made the dam this big.
