Some people have otter ideas for winter sightseeing

Wildlife highlight: River otters

Did you know one of the best times to see river otters is winter?

As ice covers lakes and rivers, otters need to find holes in the ice to surface and breathe. This naturally crowds otters together—making them much easier for wildlife watchers to find.

Otters are very active around dawn and dusk. If you’re out on a walk near water, keep an eye on holes in the ice!
