It was quite exciting this week. Our family of about 10 otters swam by, had some highjinx on our float, and then moved on to their den and slide south of dock. To view the otter den and their slide means a hike down South Trail. We've noticed that a large amount of eagles are back after about a 4 week disappearance over Christmas.

A recent morning with fresh snow on the ground entitled us to see cougar, bobcat and deer prints.

We did see some canada geese this winter, which I thought was odd, because I thought they all flew south! I guess not.

That's about it, except for the squacking heron every now and then and the odd screecher owl in the woods.
