A chilly day on the water
A chilly day on the water today, but thankfully no snow. These Steller sea lions are a favorite of mine this time of year. We see them on the southern tip of Speiden Island. They are all males, some getting up to 2000 lbs., that have traveled away from their rockeries. They’ll be heading back to the rockeries around mid May when the breeding season begins. Very cool to see them hauled out. As they dry out they become a soft golden color.
