This particular swamp is one of my favorites to stop at, along the Huckleberry Trolley Line in Blandford where the line plateaus over Cook Mountain the land is wet. The beavers here are active and always surprise me on how much they can build in a short period of time. Here they actually keep the trolley line above water by damming up the stream outlet. Tom Hoffman spotted the hooded merganser pair in the pond.
