All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description
Beaver dams are nature’s bridges and many animals such as wolves, bears, deer, and the like use them to cross wetlands. This footage is from a few years ago on a large old beaver dam.
A few years back, we used high-resolution aerial imagery to count/digitize all the beaver dams visible on aerial imagery in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem (our study area). In total, we identified 9,028 beaver dams in the GVE, which is roughly ~2,000 square kilometers in size.
The average dam was 73 meters/239 feet long meaning that there are 659 kilometers/409 miles of beaver dams in the GVE. Pretty incredible how beavers have altered the landscape!
