Description
I woke up this morning and immediately heard a commotion going on by the pond, I got dressed and went down the catwalk and heard Ike and Audrey clucking (cranes), the Great Blue Heron barking, the gallinule doing their monkey sounds and the Egyptian Geese quacking up a storm. What in the heck was going on back there! I looked over the railing and saw the reason for everyone's consternation, Wilford was running around back and forth between the pond and the marsh.
I decided I better get down there with my chair and brought my coffee with me. All was quiet at first. But then Wilford (the North American River Otter) crossed the grass to the pond and I caught him here plotting his next move.
