Title: Otters
Post by: boneaddict on February 12, 2012, 03:25:06 PM: I had the fortune of stumbling onto these guys today. I had been watching for them but hadn't seen them and kind of forgot about them. I was looking for some more duck action and was marching along when I spotted them both out on the ice. I switched lens and moved in. I watched one of them catch a good 20 fish. Looked like three different species of fish. One ate 5 or 6 then just swam with its mate, unless they were taking turns. Not sure about that. I spent a good hour with them and was absolutely thrilled. I finally made them nervous and they disappeared. I took 350 photos of them.

Post by: woodman on February 12, 2012, 07:21:29 PM: Those pics are great! The last time that I watched some was at Sekiu. They were sneaking up onto a boat dock and into some guy's boat. They would emerge from his boat with fish bait. (herring) I imagined that when he went to go back out fishing that he probably wondered where his bait went.

Post by: quadrafire on February 14, 2012, 03:29:41 PM: Hey Bone,
Nice pics there.

Would you still have the pics of the wood ducks that were eating the fish or some type of amphibian (mud puppy)? I have looked in through a bunch of old posts, but couldn't find em.
Thanks

Post by: hunting4sanity on February 14, 2012, 03:56:36 PM: Not that I'm a stalker or anything :yike: but the first thing I do when I get on the forum is go to the photography section and see if you've got any new photos. These are great! I sometimes see stuff like this, if I don't have the camera, when I take the camera....nothing.
Title: Re: Otters
Post by: boneaddict on February 15, 2012, 05:23:04 AM: Thanks guys! First time I saw these guys, like two months ago, my camera was at home. Had my daughter with me, but no camera.

Post by: goosegetter79 on February 17, 2012, 07:52:58 PM: As always Bone great pics!! When I use to live in Pullman we use to see river otter in the S. Fork of the Palouse on our property. They were always cool to see!!!!
