River Otter Gallery

Fast Food
I arrived at Ridgefield with the dawn and noticed a group of female ducks out of the corner of my eye. A better look turned the ducks into river otters, at which point I suffered my typical malady: in my excitement I could barely remember how to hold the camera much less operate it. This otter surfaced with a fish in its mouth and made short work of it, you can see the fish’s tail sticking out of the edge of its mouth. The otters were working this channel quite successfully and all were getting their fill of fish.
