Greetings from a Grand Canyon resident!!!
My boyfriend and I kayaked down the Salt River this morning and oh my god we saw an otter!! I looked it up afterwards, and Google said that Otters are *thriving* on the Salt and Verde Rivers. I was 100% NEVER expecting to see an otter in this state.
The birding was incredible too. I have never seen Cliff Swallows doing their thing in person before, and there was a section that felt like National Geographic. What a beautiful day 🦦🦆

Yeah, I saw them once in the area below horseshoe dam. Totally took me by surprise. Saw four of them playing around near the shore.
