Description
January thaw, and the otters are enjoying the moments of sun and open water. This River Otter was relaxed and grabbing a snooze while still peeking at me each time I moved. Later he took off while navigating under patches of ice, still visible as I watched him swim just under the surface.
Not far from this fallen log that he is resting on is an otter slide, where he and his 3 sibs left evidence of the muddy fun they had.
You can see where the willow branches were cut off beaver teeth.
