oct. 29, 2006 report by Angeli:

Today, we woke up earlier than usual to study and survey the otters' behaviour on early mornings. We left at 6:15am and headed to Moss Landing. The weather was quite chilly but nevertheless, we were all pretty excited to discover new behaviours that these otters may display on early mornings. We were able to spot around 76 otters resting early in the morning in a tight raft but eventually dispersed and exited the slough as it reached noon time. After studying the otters for 5 hours, we all went to the beach to clean up bottles, plastics, rubbers, and other waste materials scattered along the beach. Much to our surprise, we found a helpless murre lying still on the beach but still alive. Anna called the SPCA and they came to pick up the dying bird for rescue. It was a fulfilling day after all.
