River Otter Family

 We certainly have been seeing otters this month.  Last week, we had a family of five come up the river just below the house.  They are so energetic and fun to watch.  The three youngsters were playing, and dog-piling each other and one of the parents.  We also saw them turning over rocks with their snouts and catching crayfish.  I did get photos even though the light was low.

I'm getting the hairy eyeball from this parent.

Got one!
