A pair of river otters enjoy a moment atop a frozen pond in Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge in Indiana. The great thing about photographing river otters in the winter is that you always know where they’re going to pop up. They create a hole in the ice and then maintain it so that they can easily hunt for fish before dining on the surface.

Otters are sweet subjects, especially when you get members of a family willing to pose. It looks as though you must have been low on the ice to get this photo, judging by the apparent angle from which you shot, Sean. The only thing more determined than an otter is an otter photographer!
