Good news! The foghorn is officially working! Bad news for me was that I made this very startling discovery at 3am.

Nothing major to report today, I found more gull nests and eggs today but thankfully still no aggressive behaviour (yet). I did get to watch a bald eagle devour a pigeon guillemot on a near by rock which was very cool to witness so close. I’ve also seen online and through colleagues that the Southern Resident Killer Whales are around so fingers crossed I can cross K and L pods off my sighting bucket list soon!
