Oct 24th Census

With the storm coming in (heavy rain and a gale force south easterly) I had a feeling animal numbers would be down today and I was right. But I still don’t think the weather explains why there are so few sea lions here!

Mammals:

  • Harbour seal: 83
  • Elephant seal: 1
  • Steller sea lion: 458
  • California sea lion: 222

Birds:

  • Bald eagle: 3
  • Gull: 366
  • Cormorant: 917
  • Oyster catcher: 2
  • Turnstone: 10

The weather was already taking a turn today so I didn’t see as many of the smaller bird species as I usually do either.
