Until the other day, we had not seen any signs of mammal activity at the Watson Hollow pond. One morning we observed what looked like a mink swim out of the cattails and across the pond. That was exciting.

We have not seen any otters at Watson Hollow going on two summers. Watson Hollow was dredged about 18 months ago and that may have something to do with the change in wildlife activity here.

Interestingly, the otters' toilet area was not burned. 16 Aug 2007
Nature is not static and changes will always occur but it seems we tend to get upset when those changes happen during our lifetime.

What excellent videos, how lucky to catch both the mink and the otters. I really enjoyed watching the otters swimming around together.
