nature coast

We returned home yesterday to discover that otters had turned the kayak dock into their personal sunning platform.

Since otters are a lot more photogenic than manatees, Terry and I headed down to check it out.  At first we only saw one but then spotted two more.  The third quickly slipped down the kayak ramp into the water before I could get a picture, but it stayed close by under the dock noisily chomping on fish.
