Did you know that there are otters in the Great Lakes? Have you ever seen one?
During my adventures, I have seen otters on three of the Great Lakes (Michigan, Huron and Superior). I saw otter tracks on North Manitou Island. I watched them feed as the sun set on Lake Huron.
This week I took a drive out to Leland (Michigan) and saw something on the ice in the harbor. I parked as the otter finished chewing what it had caught and slid back into the harbor.
I walked out on a dock to get a closer look and the otter surfaced again, spent some time chewing, then slid back into the water.
Otters are fun to watch, especially if there is more than one. They are playful and animated.
Check out my photo and video from this encounter...and keep your eyes open for your own otter sighting.
