Here is a sampling of photos captured by local photographers, all of whom have graciously allowed us to share some of their favorite shots of the Bagaduce river and its watershed. Do you have a favorite shot you’ve taken? If so, send it to us and we may showcase it on our website. Send photos to info@bagaducewatershed.org
Board member John Boit saw evidence of otter scat at a pond at his family’s farm in Penobscot. So he set up a trail camera and captured not one, not two, but three otters! These North American river otters are often nocturnal, although they can at times be seen during the day. They can measure up to five feet long and weigh up to 30 pounds. Once heavily hunted for their fur, river otters have now rebounded. They can range 50 miles and are constantly on the move, rarely staying in one place for more than a few days. In fact, these three otters captured on camera have since moved on, so keep an eye out for them in the Bagaduce watershed!
