>Off Topic but may interest birders: There were six or more River Otters in
>Port Angeles harbor Thursday late afternoon. I did see six on the surface
>at the same time. They were diving in a feeding frenzy. They never failed
>to come up without a eight to ten inch herring-like fish in their jaws,
>hastily gulping the catch and diving down again for more. I watched them
>for about 15 minutes and had to leave. They were about a hundred yards off
>shore at the Francis Street Park. A fascinating sight!.
