In the report submitted earlier, I omitted a highlight. While not a bird item,
I felt it was worth mentioning that the group saw and some recorded on video a
River Otter lounging on the large beaver lodge near the boardwalk. It didn't
seem to notice the small crowd gathered around while he rolled around on the
lodge. Upon reporting this to Staff, we were informed that Otters will prey on
beaver off spring while still small. Presumably that was this animal's purpose.
