Sea lions are showing up in big numbers at the moment on the east coast of Vancouver Island. They are here for the herring spawn. Me too! 😁

These two came pretty close to me. I was on my knees at the edge of the water taking photos of ducks when they emerged to check me out.

Steller sea lion on the left and the other one is a California sea lion (identifiable with the ''bump'' on its head).

There is a lot of wildlife activity at the moment with the herring spawn only a few weeks away on Vancouver Island.

I shot hundreds of photos yesterday and today of Steller and California sea lions, bald eagles, surf scooters, buffleheads, eared grebes, long-tailed ducks, common goldeneyes, red-breasted mergansers, loons, oyster catchers...

No matter the rain and cold wind, it won't stop me! This is only the beginning of one of the most exciting time of the year in the area.
