There could very well be a beaver damn upstream, BB. Also, we had that big snowstorm in April, and there's a lot of saturated ground. I was going to say we're near the mouth of the creek, too, where it empties into Lake Michigan, but suddenly I'm wondering if I took this shot where I thought I did. Must check next time I'm down that way.
I'm looking at this photo now and thinking that maybe I didn't take the shot at Bohemian Road, after all. Be that as it may (and I won't change the title at this late date), here's the first sentence of an article by Eric Carlson in the May 12 Leelanau Enterprise: "A burgeoning beaver population building dams on Shalda Creek within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore may be responsible for high water levels in Little Traverse Lake."

Creek looks rather high. Or is there a beaver dam someplace?
