      There is a garden tool in Germany, which is called „Sauzahn“.
      Perhaps the beaver insulations could be loosened up more easily. Just one example of what the device looks like:

The sky of the whole city is very busy all day long with swifts, and they free us from flies and mosquitos, which is an excellnt service. We love the birds!!

    Tearing down such a large dam certainly makes excellent video. You have to keep in mind that the penned up water is not only in the canal, but also in the water table of the ground on either side. Lowering the dam in increments allows the ground water adjacent to the canal to more slowly find its way into the canal.

    I know a lot of people are tearing down beaver dams. Essential when flooding roadways. But they are very useful for environment in that their large ponds actually help our climate stay cooler. It also helps fish life. So just a question, you are careful which dams you tear down? A beaver ecosystem can actually keep climate 15 degrees and more cooler!

In cities, especially, we are asked to turn off unnecessary outside lights on certain nights, if possible, and close our window curtains or blinds at dusk until dawn because migrating birds might follow the light and crash into buildings. We get the same notices in the fall when migrating birds fly away. Thank you for your videos and your hard work.

    Here on the Oregon coast in the USA, we have geese migrating every year in large numbers. We also have Swifts that spend the winter in South America and return in April; and May. We have two nesting boxes I made on our house and have hosted clutches of Swifts now for two years in a roll. Swifts pair for life, unless one dies for some reason, so we believe we had the same pair for the past two years, as they return to the same nests if they can. Last year, I was slow putting the boxes back up after taking them down to refresh over the winter. The Swifts came back and were all over out house where the boxes had been the two years before, so I had to quickly put the back up so they could move in. The first year they had three babies and last year four, which is the most they have typically each year.

    You do such a great job! To answer the migratory bird question: one bird we have in our area, the Kirtlands Warbler, migrates from winters in Bermuda to the Jack Pine groves of northern Michigan. They’re very particular about their nesting habitat and have been on the Endangered Species List for a long time. But the numbers are climbing so there’s hope.

    Similar to humans, a beavers work is almost always a benefit to beavers. Usually, it is of no particular issue to humans but when they flood farmlands, it is. This was a problem and this guy fixed it.
    On the other side, there are many areas where beavers dam watersheds and maintain a needed water reserve to the benefit of man.
    In most cases, it doesn't make much difference either way.

    There are birds that fly from northern Canada to southern Argentina and Chile.
