I’ve been looking lately to see Ahuntsic’s otters. No luck so far.

I’ve seen an otter in the ile de la visitation park – are there other spots?

I saw some pawprints in the snow in Île de la Visitation Park in February. They were not cat feet, didn’t look like fox. Now maybe I’m thinking they were made by an otter.

I have seen foxes more than once on the streets of upper Westmount.

I haven’t been up to Summit Woods in a long time, but I’d imagine they might be a good place for foxes to have their lairs.

I had an incredible fox sighting yesterday at the Jewish cemetery. He came trotting out with a dead squirrel, walked through a couple of rows of gravestones and then found a spot and started eating. I was maybe 30′ away. An incredible juxtaposition of beauty and horror. He was a gorgeous red with black legs, very healthy, looked at me directly once or twice but didn’t seemed threatened. I could see the red blood on his snout. He crunched away and I could hear the bones cracking at one point and see him trying to get down long entrails. After about 10 minutes, he took the rest of the carcass and moved on. A crow had come and was screeching near him, not sure if that was part of his reason to leave. After he was gone, I checked out the eating spot and there was some specific guts left that I couldn’t identify, but very cleanly separated.

The crow was lurking for the leftovers.
