  Images obtained with the CFHTIR camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
are used to investigate the near-infrared photometric properties of the
star-forming M81 group galaxy NGC 3077. The spectral-energy distribution (SED)
of the near-infrared light within 10 arcsec of the nucleus is consistent with
the 2um light being dominated by hot young (log(t_{yr}) < 6.8) stars reddened
by A_V = 3 - 4, with A_V < 8 mag in some regions. A population like that near
the center of NGC 205 likely contributes only a modest fraction of the light
near 2um. A number of candidate star clusters are detected in and around NGC
3077. The specific frequency of globular clusters falls within the range
measured in nearby dEs. The candidate young clusters have photometric masses
that are similar to those of compact young clusters in other active
star-forming systems, and SEDs consistent with ages log(t_{yr}) < 6.6. Based on
the masses and ages of the young clusters, it is estimated that the star
formation rate in NGC 3077 was at least 0.25 - 0.50 solar masses per year
during the past few million years.
