Since Jamuary is coming up in a few days here’s a little collection of some of my past favorites (some unreleased). Looking forward to recording some new ones this week!!
I just released a small collection of recordings I made during 2021 through 2022. It’s available now to stream and download on my Bandcamp (Link in Bio) and should be available on all other streaming platforms in the next couple of days. Any support is greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening!!

North American river otter kits—baby otters—depend heavily on their mothers during their first year of life. After being born in a den (often along riverbanks or in abandoned burrows), the kits are blind, helpless, and covered in soft fur. For the first couple of months, they rely entirely on their mother for warmth, protection, and milk.
As they grow, the mother begins teaching them essential survival skills. One of the most important lessons is swimming. Interestingly, otter kits aren’t natural swimmers at birth—the mother often has to coax or even gently push them into the water. Over time, they become strong, agile swimmers, which is crucial for their survival.
Hunting is another key skill they must learn. The mother demonstrates how to catch prey such as fish, frogs, and crustaceans, gradually allowing the kits to practice on their own. At first, the young otters may play with their food or struggle to catch it, but through repetition and observation, they improve.
During this extended period—lasting up to about a year—the kits stay close to their mother, forming a tight family group. This long learning phase ensures they develop the coordination, strength, and instincts needed to live independently. Once they are confident swimmers and capable hunters, they eventually leave to establish their own territories.
