Otter warns me off

[Jon Holcombe]

I took these photos on the Muskee Creek, March 8th of this year, off Rt. 47. I was photographing a trestle and this otter did not appreciate my presence, swimming around chattering at me. He took a lunch break, warned me some more and disappeared.

That bank looks to be made of hard rock. What's up with that?

Bob, I think it's mud, although it is right next to the tracks that cross Rt. 47 at Muskee Creek. Could be concrete or stone but I think it's probably the late afternoon shadows making the mud look slick. Here are a couple more shots, one down river towards the Maurice.

Okay, now I see and understand. He has quite a fish in his mouth.
