<div>Ditto with Captain Don's trip. 3 humpbacks & an incredible (350 would be my estimate) feeding frenzy of sea lions. I have never seen this many sea lions together at one time! <BR></div> <div>Not only were we able to see the most amazing reunion of sea lions, but the water was so clear we could see the blooms of krill or maybe they were the just the left-overs from the sea lions feast. Some of the people on the trip thought they saw shimmering scales of fish in the billowing debris in the water. </div> <div> </div> <div>And then, blow from a humpback right in the middle of the sea lions! The most incredible photo --- that a group of film makers from LA promised to send to me. </div> <div> </div> <div>One passenger from British Columbia is attending a Wildlife Rescue training for two days in Goleta this week-end. Does anyone know about these events? She said they are all over North
America from Canada to Florida and beyond.</div> <div> </div> <div>Great fun with Laura Shelton (a newbie) and Caroline McClosekey (volunteer since 1997 doing photo ID)</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks for this opportunity.</div> <div> </div> <div>- Tara Brown</div> <div> </div> <div><BR><B><I>CAROLE POTZMANN <carolepotzmann@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV>12:00 trip found 6 Humpbacks and large (500 plus) raft of Sea Lions.</DIV> <DIV>15:00 cancelled</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beautiful day on the ocean...small group of passengers happy with the sightings.</DIV> <DIV>The crew was amazed at the number of Sea Lions as they had never seen this many at one time.</DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Channel_islands_naturalist_corps mailing
