["Roseanna" <roseanna@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I brided the loop road off Hwy 76 in the Green River WMA and kayaked Casey 
Creek up to the bridge
Sat. morning. The best sighting of the day was of 5 otter swimming and 
"playing" along the bank of a
spit of land in Casey Creek. Casey Creek is at 675.2' elevation (very near 
summer pool), so no
mudflats have formed for shorebirds.
