I shot this picture of a river otter the last time I was able to visit Delta Ponds. It was exciting to see it. I even saw it catch and dine on a fish! For a park within the city limits of Eugene and only a mile or two from the center of town, Delta Ponds has a wealth of wildlife, mostly birds but also some animals, such as the otters, beavers and other small animals. It is worth a visit if you haven't been there, and live in the Eugene, Oregon vicinity, of course.
