OMG! They do exist!
Had read the wildlife listing and seen the display at the VC, but didn't think I would ever see them. I had hitched a ride with Judy Bell to look for a large gathering of Roseate Spoonbill on the Jackson Mueller Tract. Had to pass through the East Unit where the duck hunting areas are located. This family of otters was on the road and couldn't decide just where to go. They crossed back and forth three times before diving onto the canal. Mom kept close watch peeping over the tall grass meerkat fashion until we ventured too near. In a flash the entire group disappeared into the thick vegetation.
Imagine my surprise when the next day I observed another otter near the boardwalk on Shoveler Pond. Couldn't get close enough for a photo due to another vehicle in front of me taking photos of every coot and moorhen on the refuge.
