There were four eagles cruising around the reserve in the morning.
The sea lions spent the previous night and day on the East side of the island, just bellow my bedroom.
November 16th, 17th, and 18th we have an 8.9 ft (2.7 m) tide. The high tide on the 16th is called a perigean spring tide (as in the tide is “springing forth,” not the season). These tides occur when the moon is at it closest point in orbit to earth and the moon and the sun are lined up so that their gravitational pull is in the same direction; All of which results in some of the biggest tides of the year. There is an effort now to take photographs of areas and infrastructure that are strongly affected by Spring tides in order to better understand the potential impacts of sea level rise caused by climate . Search ‘king tide photo initiative” for more information.
