Index of Subjects Hi Paul Ruggles: I hope you enjoy all the amazing exchanges of info on NatureNS. I feel compelled to respond after reading Paul MacDonald's email. Keji would be truly in trouble if I were its brains. I work at Keji as a biologist (latest official title-Resource Management Officer II...there have been many changes in the Parks Canada org). I saw your email regarding searching out some otters. We've had numerous sightings on the Mersey River just above the Visitor Centre, but I haven't had any reports lately. I can check the most recent reports and get back to you. Paul MacDonald probably has the most recent observations since he is often out fishing in Keji. Those fly fishermen are a fountain of knowledge! I am sure if you track down some of these folks, (Reg Baird and Paul being among the "ring leaders"), you'll get the locations of most recent otter activity. Of course, they are fishermen, so it may be best not to believe everything! It seems that I notice the otters more so during fall-winter. I once recall a whole group (family, I presume) swimming in Black River, Kouchibouguac National Park, during early winter. There was a skim of ice over the river and the otters seemed to be frolicking with the ice, swimming under it, breaking through it, making lots of noise. It was quite a show!
