otterfamilyI finally got a relatively close-up look at the new kid in town yesterday evening. It is definitely a yearling, and a small one at that, which reinforces my hope that it is a female.
The only things about yesterday's observations that dismayed me were, 1) that I didn't get a good view of its face when I had the opportunity, and 2) I lost the otter in plain sight when it was directly in front of me. I'm afraid that, since I see otters so infrequently these days, I've virtually lost my "eye" for tracking them. Not good...
Anyway, up 'til last night, I was thinking of taking the entire month of February off, as that month is typically the worst of the year for seeing otters, but if the newcomer is a regular resident now, it would be foolish of me to take any time off.
