Thanks Brian for the interesting report.  What a nice sighting!  I 
have never seen an Otter at the Frog Pond in Fleming Park, but I have 
talked to others who have seen them along the saltwater shoreline of 
the Park, down near the "Dingle" Tower.   I think those sightings 
were also in the winter.

         Cheers,
