Your Monday Morning Otter Shot

Meet Birdadette. She’s identifiable by her two pink flipper tags. Here we see her hauled out on a mudflat enjoying the warmth of sunshine on her luxurious coat of fur.

For many years, Sea Otters were not observed venturing out of the water. But after decades of protections, and free of any worries of predation here in the Elkhorn Slough, we frequently see them hauled out, sunning themselves.

Our trained naturalists and captains have first hand knowledge of the unique individuals that inhabit this wetland.
