River Otter Paradise!

The river otters have been very active this winter.  We see them frolicking on the dock and find their trails when they slide across the snow on the dock or shore.  When the bait fish were schooling around the dock, they'd come several times a day to get their share.

Webbed feet come in handy when working underwater.

Show us your breakfast!

The otters love checking out the dock.

Especially in the snow!

River otters are also called, "land otters".
