OCNJ River Otters

[remingtonman1108]

Was down at our shore house in Ocean City, NJ for the holiday weekend and finally caught the Otters in the act.

 

I was out on the deck around 6:45am this morning to take some shots of the frozen over lagoon at low tide and I turn and see these dudes breaking the ice and going for a swim.

 

Before I know it they hoped out of the water, onto the neighbors dock, ran up the ramp and were in a sprint heading right at me along the bulkhead.

 

Shot it at f/4. Wasn't quite ready for the running of the otters. Would have like to had a chance to have more depth in the pic but I'll take what I can get right now lol

See them every time I am at the house. 98% of the time in the water early in the AM. the other 2% are spent crapping on my dock...
