My type of weather today cloudy with periods of rain

Bonus: this guy was sitting beside me watching the otter also

What a great set. I have only had the privilege of watching them once in my life. Thanks for sharing these.

Very nice set! Love 1 and 4.

Went to a place numerous times this past summer looking for a pair I had heard about. Only to find out they didn't return this year. Figures. Sounds like that is unusual. Several local photographers shared pictures from last year. (wasn't a muskrat) They're quite concerned something happened to them. Hope not. We'll be watching next summer.

Thanks. The ones that I have seen all have been on the ice eating. These two I just happened upon when I was out looking for a Pintail duck.

Awesome batch, I have only ever seen sea otters but never close enough to get decent shots.

Nice! Haven't gotten close enough yet. Much more skiddish than the average Mallard. I'll keep trying.

Thanks. Yes these were very cautious of me at first but after 3 hours they would come within 20 ft of me

Nice set. As an avid fly fisher, I’ve had several encounters with these critters. Including one time when I almost wet the inside of my waders as an otter slapped the water right behind me at an otherwise perfectly calm and serene moment on a very remote stretch of river. [emoji23]
