Sunday, April 13, 2008. Gray Whales and Kissing Sea lions
" Our first stop today was to check out the California Sea lions hauled out on the buoys near the Navy Base. As usual they were lazily snoozing on the floats. We found #44 north of the Southern tip of Camano Island feeding near shore. We also had another Gray up the beach from us feeding. We stayed with #44 as it he made his way south into deeper water. We had some amazing identifiable fluke shots! We also saw several large rafts of Western grebes, red-necked grebes, pigeon guillemots, rhinoceros auklets without their horn on the bill (should start to see the horn in a month or so) and bald eagle. As we were returning to the dock we took one more look at the California sea lions on the buoys. Our passengers got to see two sea lions kissing!" -Naturalist Jami Nagel
