Seattle Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 We were watching eagles fishing along the Yakima River this afternoon when some other motion caught my eye. These 5 river otters were having a great time playing in the snow and ice along the river. They were much better at fishing than the two guys down the river from them. What a treat to watch! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine all the animals I walked past without even knowing because they stayed still Yep! I have seen this many times. It works well for rabbits with domestic dogs for sure. Not sure if it works with Coyotes or Foxes. I haven't seen that in action. I see the birds at feeders do this when there is a hawk in the vicinity. They even remain frozen well after the hawk leaves. Works well for birds with bird watchers too. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 @Aidan B I bet you were hoping I'd forget you are the go to fish person here on Whatbird.com. ? I have some fish photos. I know next to nothing about fish but they are cool to find and I have found quite a few here in Florida. Can you help me get some of them ided? As you can imagine photographing them can be a bit of challenge. So I perfectly understand if they are not identifiable. Any way here is the first species I hoping you can help with. The photo was taken May 2021 in a pond in the Florida Keys. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don’t think it was. It was alive but moved much slower than most salamanders I’ve seen. I put it under a log so hopefully it has a chance to recover. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
