River Otters need unpolluted waters to thrive so you shouldn't be surprised that they are doing well here on the Mendonoma Coast. They can be seen near local rivers and creeks. Jean Brown spotted one recently.

Here's a fun photo by Gary Hopkins of a Gull and a River Otter exchanging glances.

The River Otter is probably warning the Gull not to try and steal its food. My bet is on the Otter!

Thanks to Jean and Gary for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
