Sea Lions have taken over the docks in Astoria, Oregon. They are so crowded there is no space left to move around, so individuals are seen climbing over each other. Their constant barking makes for an unforgettable experience for both eyes and ears.
I noticed this pod of dolphins frolicking in the water off the beach at Carmel, CA. They were no more than 100 feet offshore, and they remained there all afternoon. Their bodies would sometimes be visible through a wave that was breaking as it approached the shore, as they were when I captured this shot.
