So, this happened! Rick Remy hiked to the Wetlands to see if he could get a glimpse of some early bird migrants, but the highlight of the morning was an only-by-chance sighting of a river otter family in the middle pond. Rick was wowed by the encounter. They were rolling around, swimming on their backs, splashing, and making little chirping sounds. So exciting! Thanks, Rick, for the great documentation!
From Ruffner Conservation Director, Jamie Nobles: “River otters prefer clean, healthy water and undisturbed habitats, which may limit them to certain rivers, creeks and streams. We should take this sighting as a compliment for the quality of habitat we are providing, even if these otters are just passing through.”
