Yesterday I drove out to Abbott’s Lagoon in Point Reyes.  It was early, sunny, and warm. I was alone.  I’ll show pictures of my walk, and then, in the next post zero in on more photos of a Great Blue Heron and Great White Egret grooming with a view.  I also saw across the lagoon what I knew must be otters since they hang out there, and slide down the dunes, and also groom. This was a huge lump that stayed still, and was gone when I returned.  I came home and zoomed in on the lump.  Otters huddle together in what’s called a “romp”.  For sure, two otters, but I think there’s also two babies.  It’s that time of year. Quite a day.  I’ll try to give a taste with photos.  

Arrival
Walking down the curving and narrow path
A Romp of Otters resting and warming on the dunes
Hearing the Ocean beyond the lagoon
Egret and Heron together with the view
Companionship
A crow viewing the ocean as I approach.
Flight
A tapestry of color – so many blues and greens!
Coming back, I see a Great Blue Heron who is usually in this spot.
Regal and patient, he or she waits to catch and chomp a fish.
And there’s the bend in the Trigger Neck!
