Wildlife Notes:

• I have postponed the weekly census count until tomorrow, due to fog that obscured parts of the islands for most of the morning and afternoon.
• The California sea lions are getting louder as their numbers increase. Fortunately for the Race Rocks infrastructure, the sea lions are being good neighbours and keeping to the shoreline.

Facility work:

• Clean windows
