This evening I watched 2 sea otters for awhile. C pointed out the first one while we were walking. Then he headed further down the beach to fish for salmon.

It is drizzling, a great improvement on the driving rain we have been getting off and on the past 3 days. If it had rained any harder while watching the sea otters I would have left and missed a cool catch. For quite a while they were both coming up with small things to eat as I usually see (probably mussels, clams and sea urchins). Then one surfaced and my initial thought was, “why does he have a bunch of sticks?” Can you guess what it was?

He had 2 crabs! He laid them both on his belly so I could clearly see them. It took him some time to eat one and then the other. So cool!

The Millers Landing Campground is rather wet, but convenient to fishing – and sea otters!
