While fishing a couple days ago I saw a little brown furry critter come running out of the tall pasture grass next to my pond and go straight to the edge of the pond. As my dogs approached where I saw it last, I saw it dive into the pond and disappear. I watched for it to come up, but it never did - not that I could see. I puzzled over what it was, and decided it was a weasel. It didn't dawn on me until last night that it was most likely a YOY otter. Just what every pond needs!
