Fish Chomp!
Does that long tail seem heavy at the base? There are lots of teeth in this bite. Webbed hands hold the fish just as we would. Not your ordinary rolly poly dark brown otter,... Part of a family of five or six.
Tough Guys?
These are not your ordinary playful chocolate smiley otter. They seem to be a heavy duty version of otter. I closed in to these while they were eating a fish on the rocks at Kin Beach in Comox.
Teeth Power
Junior shares a secret with Mom, left corner, while a brother gnaws on fish above and big sister gives me the quizzical look. Notice the long skinny and powerful tail. Quite thick at the base though.
Mom & Kids?
These otter are larger than the more familiar chocolate brown sea otter. This family was finishing up fish dinner when I inched my way along the beach rocks.

Spotted SandPiper..
Looked this one up and aside from the winter white breast in July, it does seem to check as a spotted sandpiper. Seems to like that black beach oooze.
Spotted Sandpiper ?
My good luck. Arrived early. Looked over a steep concrete shore wall and suddenly I had a ' bird's eye ' view. My good shot for the day ...early am. Odd,...greenish legs and a winter breast in July?

Star Curiosity
This one seems a little different. Do you recall this star fish. First one like this for me. Maybe I just have not been paying attention.

Eagle Eyes
These two were just looking around and not much else. Finally they few a few circles and then left for Portugese Joe's Fish processing place further up this [ Dyke ] road.

Weed on Post
The fickle winds of fate and fortune blew a seed onto this old post in the ocean. Seems to be enjoying life. No tree could choke out the sunlight.
