River Otter at Ponca Access, Buffalo National River

The pool just downstream from the Ponca Low Water Bridge is periodically visited by River Otther. This morning they were there at 9:30 AM CDT. 9:30 to 10:00 AM seems like the most likely time to catch them though they do feed all day long. I spot them by looking for ripples that seem unexplained. This picture is part of a family of 4 I have photographed since last year.

Amazing poses and a very crisp image. Hard to get one of these guys to be still much less three. Well done, Michael. Vote.
