July 3, 2022: Northern River Otters


I was checking out a pond when I spotted a Northern River Otter exit the water onto a slope.  A second otter was swimming up to this spot.  I went back to my trike to get a camera, but when I returned, they were gone.  I continued down the east side of the pond and soon found 3 otters on a log.  After a few minutes they slipped into the water and disappeared.  However, I was able to relocate 1 further down and along the east shore.  The otter gobbled a fish, sank into the waters, and apparently swam off.
