Here is one of my nature journal entries from the week we were gone:
Oregon Coast Trip
I felt like a little kid today. The excitement of seeing something new and interesting always makes me feel young again.
Our morning drive brought us to a spot along the Oregon Coast where you can stop and look over a place called Shell Island.
As we opened the door and got out, we all could immediately hear barking…not a dog’s bark but a sea lion’s bark.
The islands were covered with California sea lions, Stellar Sea Lions, and Harbor Seals,. Thousands of animals were relaxing, playing, and swimming in and around the islands. We were there a long time looking through our binoculars at their antics.
They are so awkward on land but very graceful in the water.
Another great day related to our study of marine biology.
I am hoping you can click the photos and have a good look at these creatures.
