Otter

Went for a walk over at Harrison Bay yesterday.....


it was pretty quiet although with a few surprises....


like this flock of Mew Gulls coming down the river.  First gulls we've seen in the area for months!  Mew Gulls breed on northern lakes in the Yukon, N.W.T. etc. so this is a sign that migration is underway.


we were standing here admiring the ripening rose hips but kept hearing some snuffling and crunching....finally


spotted this out in the river....at first weren't sure if it was a seal or an Otter but...


it's long tail easily identified it as a River Otter.


think the most frequently species we saw were White-crowned Sparrows like this young fledgling...


and this adult on a Blackberry bush.
