Field Notes

Habitat:

Deciduous habitat bordering canal.

Notes:

I found this photo from some time ago, but it was a special one, so I wanted to add it to my map. This is the only river otter that I have spotted on the canal that I walk. I have found sign in other areas, but this curious one posed so nicely for me after it was startled by me sitting on the edge.
