**Dan Hicks had River Otters come to his yard pond on Sunday.  They have seen them most winters.  On Sunday there were 3 together.  Dan didn't think they had any decent-sized fish left in the pond, but the otters certainly found some.  Dan suspects there won't be many fish left by the time they're done!

(Editor’s note: great photographs of River Otters, a mammal we don’t often see especially in our yards unless one can provide the appropriate menu!

 

**Jane LeBlanc in St. Martins had another brief visit from a Sharp-shinned Hawk in the snow on Monday. It stayed very briefly, but she happened to be looking out the kitchen window and saw it, and got a distant, documentary photo.

 

 

**Margaret and Jack Rogers are yet another Memramcook couple who are enjoying regular Northern Cardinals.
