We started off with some Harbor Seals and a Bald Eagle. Then a Stellar Sea Lion just thrashing a salmon it had caught and devoured.  Look close at the pics and see the blood droplets flying around.

Then we were off to see the T65A’s minus mom and the two youngest in the pod. They are around somewhere but we did not see them.

We saw some pouncing action but we did not see what they were chasing and killing. I also got a few backlit shots with the blows that looked pretty cool.   Today was a day the light showed up in some unique images.  Hope you enjoy the T65A’s & Stellar Sea-lion Thrashing Salmon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]DSC 1302DSC 1329DSC 1376DSC 1378DSC 1379DSC 1380 2DSC 1380DSC 1417DSC 1421DSC 1428DSC 1448DSC 1469DSC 1476DSC 1477DSC 1597DSC 1613DSC 1621DSC 1635DSC 1644DSC 1648DSC 1649DSC 1655DSC 1660DSC 1661DSC 1663DSC 1664DSC 1674DSC 1690DSC 1691DSC 1692DSC 1722DSC 1723DSC 1724DSC 1779DSC 1781DSC 1799DSC 1801DSC 1806DSC 1807DSC 1846DSC 1860DSC 1886DSC 1887DSC 1891DSC 1892DSC 1926DSC 1927DSC 1928DSC 1957DSC 1958DSC 1962DSC 1964DSC 1966[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
