Summary

The April 1964 Beaver Beacon described spring beaver trapping and wildlife observations on Beaver Island, including a blue heron, black ducks, a woodcock, and a coyote-and-beaver track story. It also anticipated the Fox Lake trout season, smelt dipping, sucker spearing, and the spring mushroom season.
