Animals

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Bears are most abundant at Brooks Falls in late June and July during the sockeye salmon migration, but also keep an eye out for bald eagles, lots of gulls, and maybe even the occasional wolf trying to partake in the salmon buffet.

They're always loud, I've had to mute them most of the time. I can't imagine how the adults handle it given the sensitivity of owl hearing.

Cowlitz (Indian Tribe) Beaver Kit Cam Live
Southwest Washington State, awww.


Beavers typically give birth during the weeks between mid-April and mid-May. A pregnant beaver came into our facility on 4/15/2026 and she gave birth to four healthy beaver kits on 4/16/2026. Wild beaver kits typically stay within the lodge for the first five weeks of life. This allows them to remain safe in the confines of a protected structure, grow and gain weight, and develop water-proofing oils for their fur that allows them to dive underwater to evade potential predators. The Tribe’s program will hold this beaver family until the kits are old enough to be released into the wild.

In the meantime, the Cowlitz Beaver “Kit Cam” lets viewers observe the four baby beavers and their mother in real-time as they grow and learn behaviors essential to survival.
