Dark reflections (and otters 😊)
Overcast day creating dark water and crisp reflections on a small pond.
The small pond is in northern Maine near Rangeley. We were walking late one afternoon.
Our walk was along a logging road well off the beaten path.
When we got a surprise. An otter with a small pup were on the bank. They swam across the pond. The pup remains hidden but is visible at the very end of the short video.
What a lovely little pond and lovely little bit of nature 😍 We were so close and it was so quiet we could hear the mother Otter huffing at us. I think annoyed that we were too close to her pup. But maybe just telling the pup to stay hidden.

How fun to see the otter and pup! They move so effortlessly in the water!
Thanks. It was very cool and so unexpected. Those are the best kind of nature encounters.
!INDEED
Looks just like Alaska, thank you for sharing.
We were quite a ways north in Maine but Alaska is a whole different kind of way north 🙂 thanks for checking out my post
Great otter find. Looks like a nice unspoiled natural place. I've only caught glimpses of river otters here, very rare.
Thanks. I have another video of the otters that shows the pup a little better but alas you can only post one video per post using ecency (I think 🤔)
Yeah it kind of hiccups if you try and embed multiple 3speak video per post, even in peakd though I haven't tried it in a while. Here in Illinois I know the son of the guy who was responsible for releasing the river otters back into the wild. They have established themselves but are still quite sneaky to spot.
Thats cool reintroducing otters. We saw one near our house awhile ago. And also a mink which I consider basically a smaller version of otter lol
This is so beatiful...is this in Alaska??? Cuz the landscape looks the same
Thanks Its in northern Maine. Pretty remote but not as far north.
Ahhh thanks, yeah i though it would be since i am sailing Alaska right now and we get to see a lot fo otters here
