It was rare-creature day down at the swamp... when for the first time ever we saw a group of 3 otters! I've never seen them here before, after years of hanging around looking. I was lucky enough to catch a blurry photo of them as they were carrying a fish onto a log.The other rare creatures were a green heron (very skittish and difficult to observe or photograph) and a Sora... another very rare and skittish wading bird.
Also a soft shelled turtle... those are unusual. For some reason they all came out to make an appearance.
The otters were the best though... the way they hop along with fluid movements is amazing...
Nature is wonderful if it just gets left alone...

I would have loved to be watching these otters. You are so lucky.
I've even got some movies of them... so maybe I'll make an iMovie someday. Hopefully they'll stick around a while, since they're really amazing to watch.
They are VERY elusive creatures...

Oh, the otters are wonderful!
We have a Great Blue Heron who visits every once in a while... very skittish, too. I want to call him a "pterodactyl" when he flies-- his wingspan is gigantic!
