Sea Otter preening itself in Morro Bay Feb. 21, 2007 - taken from a kayak on a calm day... this critter got very comfortable with us... so we did not molest it by drifting fairly close. In fact, I discarded many shots because the focus range was set for >=6.5 meters, and I was closer than that. Photo by Mike Baird, bairdphotos.com - Shot w/ a Canon 20D w/ 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6 IS lens handheld.
