It's Not Just Any Monday When You Are Out on the Water!- Monday, April 4th
"Our day on the water started with some great looks at a few California Sea Lions hauled out on two channel markers. From there we ventured toward Gedney Island where we found Patch, #49, & #21 swimming side-by-side! The stillness of the day allowed the sound of their exhalations to arrive to our ears! Getting some great looks as the two ventured closer to the boat before making their way towards the Snohomish River Delta where their behaviors changed abruptly into meal time! At the northern end of Gedney Island we happened upon three Harbor Seals that had found refuge from the frigid water on a floating log! All three were balancing making sure to stay perfectly still as their rounded bodies curled upward out of the water as much as possible, while another seal swam around hoping to find room on their makeshift island! Quite the day to kick off our last week with the gentle Grays! We also enjoyed a close encounter with a Osprey who flew just over the bow pulpit, a Bald Eagle perched on the day marker, and a group of friendly Harbor Porpoise were a great finale to a fantastic day!" -Naturalist Kate Janes
