A pair of River Otters ceaselessly patrolled the edge of border ice. Why? Were fish more plentiful there, possibly because ice forms where water is shallow, or because fish seek safe darkness under ice? Does anyone know? Whatever the reason, the otters did catch a fish (but the picture of it was poor).
A shot of nearly submerged otters is not nearly as interesting as ones where they are half out of the water,
climbing onto the shore,
perching on a snow bank,
or sitting on border ice.
Delightful…..they look as interested in you as you are in them!
I like BG’s comment LOL. Their intelligence shines so strongly. Great photos!
