Yesterday (9/21) I saw the 1st CA sea lion hauled out on a Shilshole Marina dock this summer (since 6/25)! G26/28 was the preferred finger pier…

Beautiful smokey orange gibbous moon over the Salish Sea tonight. It’s awesome listening live while watching for orcas crossing the moonlit waters.

Thanks for this decadal perspective, Monika! We can explore the "no fish, no blackfish" hypothesis with this data visualization -- salmonorca.fly.dev

I note it shows Columbia Chinook counts the last 3 years at 2-4x historic means all months except July... Should we applaud Biden-era salmon policy?

32 California sea lions on the Shilshole jetty today. Are they full of Port Madison pre-spawn herring?
