I went down the inlet to check on the salmon run? When the Harbour Seals arrive with bibs on,you know the salmon can’t be too far behind!

They’re hungry!
The party is about to happen and everybody is invited and yes they most certainly all are very hungry!
like it is saying ” What are you looking at?”
Ya,they do have that look sometimes Jane!
Maybe It’s me?
You are so funny, Wayne 😊
I like to make people laugh!
It’s like getting your cake and having extra icing!

thanks for reblogging Michael!
They gather on isolated rocks out front of a salmon stream. At high tide they swim upstream,get a bite and return. I’ve been going upstream and seen a few coming back at mach speed! They appear like a torpedo and zip past!
Wow! What a challenge for them. Great to know. xx Michael
Hey, Wayne! I hope you are doing well. It seems you have found a new friend. She is interested in you. Lol Have a nice week! xx Michael
I’ve found that If I stop the boat to take shots they all freak out and dive into the water but If I keep moving they will stay put. That means I have to basically do a drive by, shooting while travelling which is tricky.
Lol – They also love sightseeing, and maybe are thinking this action is done for entertaining them. ;-) xx Michael
No,they love the warmth of the sun and do not want to get back into the water…..their lazy!
cutie
you’d melt If you saw a baby Sea Otter Annette!
I think he/she is saying, “So where’s dinner?”
Oh I have a feeling they know where the cafeteria is Noelle!
There is nothing like the anticipation of a feast of salmon. It looks like it is important to be first in line for the buffet!
They are part of the clean up crew. When the salmon spawn they die and float downstream. Bears and Seals grab these. They are low fruit but they do go after the live ones as well! I’ve seen salmon with claw marks on them, which looked like Seal claws to me.
I think it is asking you what are you looking at me. What a superb picture captured, Wayne.
Thank you Kamal,they are very skittish!
Most welcome Wayne and yes they sure must be ☺️
He says, “waiter, I’ll have my salmon plain and perhaps some oysters on the half shell, please.”
and I’d say “and how will you be paying tonight sir”? and no more flipping a salmon for heads or tales………..I fall for that just once!
I love his whiskers too!
Someone else mentioned that as well Emma. I was thinking of calling him Mr. Whiskers but I think I called a eagle that a few months ago?
He’s giving you an intense stare – perhaps he thought there should be a trade-off for poses so he does not have to climb down off the rock and get his own food.
I’d never give these guys food! They are aggressive ! Watch this,It was on Vancouver island in Victoria!
I remember when this happened … I didn’t remember where it was and then I am not even sure I had heard of Vancouver Island (didn’t follow you until 2018). I remember thinking I’d have moved away after it snapped the first time, let alone the second time when she got dunked. The sea lion was pretty quick grabbing her like that!
People were feeding it including these people. They placed their child there thinking they could get pictures but it had other things in mind!
Oh I didn’t realize they were feeding it – wow. I remember the story made the news here and at the time I thought “well I hope they don’t kill the sea lion” as I thought she got too close too. I didn’t realize they were going for a photo op … I wouldn’t have sat there after it tried to nip me!
Well, hello there, beautiful beastie. :)
So cute.
