Conked out

You might remember when I came across some napping River Otters (Lontra canadensis) last year.  I hadn't seen young ones yet this year, but today (24 August 2019) I got lucky.

A family of four otters conked out on the rocks.  There's an adult, two juveniles, and either another adult or an immature otter (e.g., a one-year old?).

 


Here's another image when they repositioned before continuing their nap:


 

So great to see another family!
