On a snowy afternoon, we crossed the creek. With my eagle-eyes I saw an otter. What fun.
We drove past, turned around in the church parking lot, then came back. I hopped out and grabbed my videocam. The trucks were zipping past. Hubby drove on and turned around, back up the hill to the church and waited for me. This isn't a hobby for chumps!

Excellent spotting skills, Jennifer. The otter seems to be puzzling over your presence. The skin on it's nose seems injured.
I've seen them in the summer in Algonquin. It's a lot of fun to watch them!
And if you venture further south, a long long way further, to the South Pole, there are only 2 variations of the temperatures, COLD, and VERY COLD. According to our family in B.C. right now, it is COLD.love the otter, and J.B. you are a dream, to stop and wait.
Great photos and video. We enjoyed watching otters when we lived in Nova Scotia. I haven't seen one in ten years now. Thanks for posting!
That's a hoot, Jean. My SIL is planning a camping trip to the antarctic this year!
That's just awesome, and fascinating to watch! I've never seen one but would love to.
Good eye! I've never seen a river otter. I have seen a sea otter.
wonderful sighting!
Your video is very good for people like me who aren't familiar with otters.
Hello, love the river otter photos. Awesome sighting..Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Great shots of the otter.
I spotted a river otter a few years back. It pleased me greatly.
Oh well done! You are certainly not a chump and your video is great to watch!
Nice shots of the otter. I bet you had to work hard to get those pics.
Hi Jenn-
Beautiful winter scenes you got!
I have seen some Otters in Puget Sound and some in the Zoo.
They are cute and playful.
Loved seeing them in your post!
Have a Happy Weekend!
Peace :)
Well done on getting these shots
All the best Jan
