Concerning Wildlife

Found a dead or injured Sea Otter? An Eagle that can't quite fly?  Moose that won't go away?  We know what to do.

Although very cute and fuzzy, sea otters are wild animals with teeth.  They can carry diseases that can be passed onto domestic animals and humans.  Please when around a hauled out otter keep your pets restrained.  Photos and videos are ok at a 100' distance.
