Steller Sea Lions - a photo on Flickriver

Steller Sea Lions

            So I've been travelling on the BC Ferry system for many decades and have never ever seen sea lions before. But when I was on my way to Salt Spring Island at the end of last year I spotted this colony at the tip of Mayne Island. Luckily as the weather was so mild I was out on deck with my camera as we exited Active Pass! From what I can see there were about 50 of them with a few in the water as well. Stellers are pretty large creatures with males maxing out at a weight of 2500 lbs. They also have an appetite to match and can consume a massive quantity of fish daily. Being an El Nino year it's possible there is an abundance of fish in our local waters.
