In reply to T Nelson. I didn't realize they had so much trouble. There are such vast numbers of sea lions in that area that I mistakenly thought they were doing well. I can't believe I never noticed that orange tag. You can see it in all of the photos. I enjoyed reading your comments. Thanks!

Oops, I mean the right flipper, of course.

Just saw your photo of the baby sea lion next to the kayak doing a Google search on sea lions. Cute bugger! If you look at it’s left front flipper you can see an orange tag attached. That means it had been rescued by one of the marine animal rescue facilities out there and nursed back to health and released…..

They have had a major crisis of starving sea lion pups out there for the last 3 or so years. The El Nino had disrupted the prey fish and the mother sea lions can’t generate enough milk to feed the pups or have to swim so far to new fishing grounds that they’re not making the round trips quick enough for the necessary schedule to feed the pups.
