North American River Otters

Posted on by Stephen Fielding Images

There was a recent story in our local paper about otters moving into one of our city ponds. So, while waiting for the next best surfing conditions, I decided to go have a look. I’ve been photographing them on three recent days. The pond is more crowed than ever with people coming to see the otters. I’ve seen three, but other photographers say there are four. You can see three of my fellow photographers shooting with the “big glass.”

On the third day the otters agreed to sit for their portraits; I think they were making out, also. You can see more otter shots here.

I'm a retired medical sociologist from the University of Rochester. Climate change is one of the two great challenges facing humanity (the other is nuclear weapons). In writing about the impact of climate change I read reputable books and articles on the topic. So when I make statements about climate change you will see a link taking you to the scientific source(s) of the information I provide. As for my independently published photobooks, each has gone through several layers of editing and peer review for both readability and accuracy. This is not to say that everything I say is accurate. Even the New York Times makes mistakes. So, if you find something that is factually incorrect, let me know. I hope you find reading my blog a positive experience. If you do, please encourage your family and friends to have a look. You can find photos from my other photo work by clicking on the My SmugMug Gallery tab, above. Best wishes, -Steve
