p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Southern Sea Otter

Elkhorn Slough has the largest tract of tidal salt marsh in California outside of the San Francisco Bay. It’s also home to the largest concentration of southern sea otters along the California coast.

Was fortunate to see this Sea Otter snoozing in the morning. It was early, though these creatures congregate and sleep in pods, this individual was all by itself. Fortunately for me, it was relatively close to the shore and as such gave me a sequence from it sleeping to waking up.

Moss Landing, CA

Time to wake up. What are you doing here?

Bring me an abalone this big for breakfast..

Surya Pranam (Prayer to the Sun God).

A second one presented itself on the boat slip.

Wonderful images, Bibek! I enjoy them very much and my top pick is the last, B&W one, showing an adorable “expression”

Indeed Joshua. These are among my favorite from their sheer antic perspective. Have been on the slough in kayaks but never had one this close and willing to be a model and patient.

Thanks a lot.

Good looking set, Bibek. Any otter I've seen has always been far away, extra skittish, and very photo unfriendly. You did well in capturing these images.

Anytime Bear. Just cross the pond and I will take you around. Spring is a good time for the pups.

Thanks a lot.
