May 8th Census
I postponed my census from yesterday until today due to weather. I think yesterday’s wind must have blown away all the animals, not a single sea lion out front!
Today was much nicer for counting and way more animals, although this may be the longest I’ve gone without seeing a whale here. Not a single one yet and its been a week!
Mammals:
- Elephant seals: 3 females
- Harbour seals: 32
- Steller sea lions: 37
- California sea lions: 21
Birds:
- Gulls: 114
- Cormorants: 19
- Pigeon guillemots: 153
- Oyster catchers: 8
- Canadian geese: 6
- Bald eagles: 3
- Raven: 1
- Harlequin ducks: 6
Gulls are starting to build their nests!
I will note that 2 brown pelicans have been hanging around the last few days, and Ollie the sea otter as well but I did not see any of them today.
