    Black River marsh outlet from stream by Don Ross

    Sunny with a few small clouds and calm. No rain in past 24 hours. Water very muddy and weedy. When I arrived there was a large splash in the water, which at first I thought must be a carp but turns out it was either a fisher, otter or mink who swam into the culvert. We do get beavers in this part of the river but it’s head and tail was too small...had very slender body. Photo shows it’s head poking up before it swam into the culvert.
