Otters!


About 9 this morning at the Charles River Peninsula.
Where there is a little cutout that offers a view of the river.
I stood for a moment and heard a commotion--ice cracking, loud animal "huffing" sounds. There, something ran across the ice. (This low res video pretty much reproduces the quality of my initial view.)

Otters! Two of them. Occasionally they would pop their heads out of their hiding place. They could smell me. After I left I was able to peer through the trees and watch them swim.



(This, I should note, clears up a mystery. This is fact the second time I've seen an otter in this location.)
