otters

I saw several river otters today while riding my bike along the river. I rode down to the boat ramp and quickly realized some lived under it -- heard lots of snuffing noises and even saw one that was out of the water eating a fish. For whatever reason, they didn't seem to mind my footsteps, but as soon as they heard the camera opening up they ducked! I waited about 15 minutes, but tho I got a few glimpses of them under there, they never did more than poke a nose up really quickly.

 

It was fun to see them!!

 

Yes I did zoom in on these pictures, probably the equivalent of 200%.
