time of year for Bald Eagle viewing across the state. Watch the
snow for river otter slides. The native otters will slide 10
feet or more across the snow on their bellies as an effective
mode of overland travel in winter months. Since this playful
mammal’s reintroduction in 1986, the otter project has continued
working toward its goal of recovering this species to a level
that will allow for their removal from the threatened species
list. Nebraska's two species of jackrabbit, the black-tailed and
the white-tailed, begin their breeding seasons. Although both
were historically found statewide, the white-tailed jackrabbit
is now found mainly in the northern half of the state, and the
black-tailed in the southern half. This month marks the peak of
the sandhill crane and waterfowl migration through Nebraska.
