Yesterday (9/21) I saw the 1st CA sea lion hauled out on a Shilshole Marina dock this summer (since 6/25)! G26/28 was the preferred finger pierโ€ฆ

I missed the seal / Biggs encounter in July? Where were they hauled out in this photo?

Beautiful smokey orange gibbous moon over the Salish Sea tonight. Itโ€™s awesome listening live while watching for orcas crossing the moonlit waters.

Thanks for this decadal perspective, Monika! We can explore the "no fish, no blackfish" hypothesis with this data visualization -- salmonorca.fly.dev

I note it shows Columbia Chinook counts the last 3 years at 2-4x historic means all months except July... Should we applaud Biden-era salmon policy?

32 California sea lions on the Shilshole jetty today. Are they full of Port Madison pre-spawn herring?

Nice update. Thank you for all your synopses!

Looks like a little snow sticking this morning on the outer coast at La Push -- oceanshores.com/cameras/84?t...
