Refulled the generator but the fence hasnt needed any fixing lately and I’m being more careful with the water until we get more rain so I haven’t been pressure washing as much lately
Ecological
An elephant seal is here, nice to see one around, not sure when more will be showing up
Two sea lions with garbage on their neck, will report it and hopefully see if we can get someone out here to take the garbage off of them soon
Still quite a few humpbacks around counted about 6 today
haven’t seen the sea lion pups today but I’m sure they are around
There was a boreal owl that made an appearance last night but I wasn’t fast enough to get a photo of it and I haven’t seen it again but hopefully it makes another appearance
Guy came by with a little tour group this morning and then again in the afternoon with a group of students that will be spending their CAS week here
Maintenance
Fence maintenance, some pressure washing
Ecological
Counted at least 8 humpbacks throughout the day
there is a big dead stellar on the south west part of the island, I don’t usually go down there so I havent seen it until now
There are also about a dozen oyster catchers near the generator room
The sea lion pup is back and i got some great photos of it, even got some shots of it nursing which is very unusual to have such a young pup on the island
Laura’s marine science came by yesterday to see all the different species we have on the island and off the island we were lucky to see quite a few humpbacks around
Maintenance
Very minimal fence repairs which is a nice surprise, the sea lions are starting to avoid it more
Some pressure washing around the guest house, should be getting students for overnight trips soon
Ecological
I counted about 8 different humpbacks around yesterday, also saw about 4 today
Quite a bit of boat traffic, many ecotours, fishing boats and sailboats
Guy came by, we junked out the generator room a bit and he gave me a training session on the winch, soon I should be able to take the whaler out by myself
Maintenance
Had to repair the fence a couple times today, hope to extend the fence all the way to the helicopter pad as soon as I get more stick and pegs
Ecological
The Geese were around today
no elephant seals in sight
the blasting from the DND base was scaring the sea lions
also there were quite a few killdeer puttering around
