We have been diligently searching for the river otter my cousin saw Monday morning. So far, we have not seen a trace of the otter, but we have seen some other interesting things. Among them:
A meadow with a small stream,
A pond with what looks a lot like a small alligator, though we couldn't get close enough for a positive identification,
A raccoon that died an unknown death, and
goldenrod a buzz with insects.

Did you keep the racoon tail?
We didn't because of a raccoon rabies issue here. Now, that we are home everyone wants it so we will take surgical gloves today and bring it home and clean it.
This may sound really strange ... but we have a squirrel taxidermy video. We watched it once then my older son decided that it wasn't for him. Very fascinating, though!
When it came to preserving the squirrel tail, they pulled out the cartiledge. Seems like it took quite a yank but it needs to come out. You can replace it with a wire if you need more stability.
You are full of great information. Thanks!!
Thanks for the photos -
