On the eastern edge of Sunriver lies Lake Aspen, home to a mated pair of trumpeter swans, flocks of Canada geese, redwinged blackbirds, swallows, a bunch of ducks and an elusive family of Northern River Otters.
In one of our many walks along the shore of this small lake, JQ spied these otters darting in and out of the rushes, diving and sliding through the water. We spotted them again last winter poking out of holes in the ice and scampering on the frozen lake.
We make regular excursions to the lake, usually to catch a glimpse of the swans and numerous variety of birds.
So now the search is on for an otter sighting and … hopefully we will get a photo as well.
Can’t wait for you to catch them on camera!
