Fresh otter sign at Buckman/White Rock Cyn

Tracks are at far end of this beach.
Otter scat and tracks.
Jan. 8, 2011 - I finally made it out to the Rio Grande at the end of Buckman Rd. I hiked down river and found fresh otter tracks in the same spot I found them in January 2009. A stretch of about 20 feet of the snow covered beach was full of tracks and rolling impressions, with scat at the south end. They looked to be 1-3 days old.(Jan. 5 was the day that Frances Wilmeth saw 3 otters at La Mesilla, about 10(?) miles north of this location)
