February 12, 2010, caught this otter feeding on the docks at Oyster Bay Harbours. He has been bringing oyster shells on to the concrete docks and smashing the shells on the dock until he can get at the meat inside. Last Saturday he was seen swimming on his back gnawing on a fish perched on his belly. Several of the docks are covered with oyster shells but not just from the otter: Sea Gulls also use the docks. They collect oyster from the beds, fly over the docks and drop them. Wonderful to see the docks put to such a “natural use.”
