Given the response to the above, what do you think of this funnel.
In the vein of my prior post, here is another funnel type that vexes me. It is more common than the other. It is on the outside bend of a Brook which is good but the cover is wide. I have marked some of the distances.
The Brook runs to the right. It is near dry in summer but in season it can be hard or impossible to cross. I crossed in knee boots this year but a common 2-3 inch rain will flood it so I cannot cross. There is mature cover in a strip along the brook below the red line. This spot borders 25 sq miles of woods with no people, except 3-4 camps. Most all the woods was cut in the last 20 years. The cuts filled with 20 foot regen, mostly conifer. The cuts come within 40 yards of the bend in one spot. The imagery is from 2007.
The field runs 650 yards down and right. North is not up. The ponds and maybe the road help pinch movement. I have never been there so I don't know how much traffic it gets. The right pond line is 230 yards. The left pond 580. The short line at the bend 30.
The terrain is a corrugated flat plain with 30 foot ridges and small swampy brooks. Beavers are oddly uncommon compared to elsewhere.
So the question is will the regen in the cuts near the bend have any influence on pinching movement through the mature strip along the Brook? Without that it will be a less likely spot.
