Otters and osprey


Days have become much shorter in the Shuswap. Evening walks are abbreviated by earlier sunsets. Today we had a midday walk around McGuire Lake and out to the wharf. To our delight there were two families of otters playing on the dock.


This group was rolling around, playing with their mother before finally settling down for an afternoon nap. The other group found a hiding place underneath the ramp. Wonderful to see wildlife doing well in our lake!

Enroute to our car we spotted a parent osprey sharing a fish feed with its offspring. 


Parents and offspring will leave soon but they continue to share food and a nest until departure.

We hope to see the beaver family this week.
