A River Otter has to guard its meal from a hungry Gull, as photographed by Richard Kuehn

Richard Kuehn watched a River Otter bring its catch to some rocks off of The Sea Ranch this week.

It didn't take long before a Western Gull arrived with larceny in its heart.

The River Otter backed off the Gull with a hearty snarl. "It's mine...get your own."

Thanks to Rich for allowing me to share these photos with you here.
