Husband gives them a handout of corn.
Last summer, an otter gave birth to pups in their garage. The place stank for about 3 weeks until they left to go into the preserve that borders their property.

I used to watch them on a lake in Michigan where we'd go fishing.
Thanks for posting.

Made me wonder if airplane landings were developed from watching swans? Beautiful, graceful birds.
