There are lots of raccoon tracks under the bridge, but the rounded digits, claws, I thought made it more northern river otter.

We know there are plenty of these guys around, but it is very unusual to actually see one in this area.

"This is my first confirmed sighting of a River Otter in the wild. This particular fellow (assuming it is a ""fellow""), swam towards me from further out in the river, almost as though he expected something for the effort. I can't help feeling someone has been feeding this guy, as if there isn't enough food in the river for an otter to eat. He swam back and forth along the shore, ducking once in a while, then popping back up to watch me carefully, curiously. Very Cute!"
