Let just suffice it to say they make a really wierd noise when they're annoyed you're there
Good thing all they do is make noise when perturbed...sounds like all you needed was a mean otter attached to your arse to top the day off...

Nice shots Dawn.

I haven't seen any river otters up here yet, sea otters yes, but not river. River Otters can make quite the noise though eh. We use to chase them when I was a kid.

Awesome shots Warpt! Varmint...very nice shots! I was gonna say that face has the look of an Otter...but you beat me to it. Way cool catch!
I drove to Houston this morning for fireworks. Had to stop near Girdwood and get the slopes with the lights on.

Then when I got home...I stepped out on the porch and got the moon about 7:30PM tonight. Remember...the 31st is the "blue moon", the second full moon this month.

Here they come..........






I can't believe that moose come that close to a house. Great shots! My dog would bark his head off, and probably go into cardiac arrest.
