Sleeping Sea Lion

Sea Lions sleep with their fin up. Often they are in big groups but today I spotted this guy/gal all alone having a nap infront of our house.

SOOO much to see here. The shipping containers, the cars, the mountains, the water, the cormorants (sp? or are they another sea bird?), the log, and the sea lion fin? What's not to love about this capture!?

There is a lot going on in the water in front of you. The thought that a sea lion sleeps with the fins up fascinated me so down the Google rabbit hole I fell.

Looks busy on the water. I see lots of birds, the seal and a container ship.

Something new to me, love the little birds on the water.
