Thursday and Friday I found otters! Five or six otters in the bay, I think hunting fish; they were swimming in a big circle, and a few yards behind them was a cluster of gulls on the water. Must've been a big school of fish. I stood there on the MUT for several minutes, carefully not moving, as they were less than 20 feet away. It was the coolest thing.

I've also been seeing amazing sunsets, courtesy of the horrifying wildfires nowhere near us.

More mangled raccoons and a couple of skunks. Natural selection thinning out this year's youngsters? Gruesome.
