Marine Traffic: A few eco-tourism vessels over the past few days. One approached extremely close to the sea lions today.

Ecological: 

• The five goslings seem to have been eaten by another animal, perhaps eagles. We have not been able to spot them in two days, since we had a very stormy night. We found one gosling deceased near our back steps following the overnight storm. It appeared that it had become separated and could not survive the elements alone.
