Description/Comments:
A powerful flood wave from a failed beaver dam above ripped through this small tributary. The cut bank eroded and new wood habitat was recruited. Point bars were deposited on the other bank. Dark, tannin-rich water drains from the pond sediments, newly exposed to oxygen after the flood.
