This was a magical day in Yellow Springs!

In case you missed it, the YS News received a *very* cute submission for a feature photo in last week's issue.

New village resident and photographer Logan Delong happened across a remarkably uncommon sight on his morning hike through Glen Helen on Sunday, May 3: a river otter sunbathing on a log in the preserve’s beaver-made wetland.

Delong observed the aquatic mammal lazily lounging for some time, occasionally batting its webbed paw to wave away a turkey vulture swooping over it, evidently checking for signs of life.

According to Glen Helen Director Nick Boutis, the sighting of a river otter in the Glen is a testament to the animal’s conservation success story, as they were — like beaver — totally extirpated from the state by the early 1900s. They were reintroduced by wildlife officers in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and over the last few decades, have spread widely throughout the state.

“Although the Ohio Department of Natural Resources lists them as common, I’ve never seen one in the wild in Ohio, and regard any sighting as truly special,” Boutis wrote to the News.

“To me, the fact that an otter was spotted in the beaver pond is yet another sign of the way that the beavers have created important habitat that supports a wide variety of species.”

The Glen is happy from all the rain. The water was flowing and the trails were very green yesterday. You never know what you’ll find. Last Sunday, a few hikers and I witnessed a river otter in the wetlands. We are just a five minute walk from this magical nature preserve!

It’s not every day a former First Lady comes to town. To say the least, villagers were enthused.

Read more about Michelle Obama’s brief stint in Yellow Springs in next week’s print edition of the YS News.

She’s pictured here coming out of the Union Schoolhouse — 91.3 WYSO’s new headquarters — earlier this afternoon.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked two historic moments: Dave Chappelle's restoration of the Union Schoolhouse and WYSO's relocation of its new broadcast facility inside it, bringing together distinct efforts to keep the station rooted in Yellow Springs at a time when local media outlets face mounti...
