Well that was cute. I wonder how it got so far from the Puget Sound, or the river that connects to it, the Columbia. That’s a very pretty area.

He was cute and he didn’t look like he wanted to get in that cage, lol. I suppose he was hoping to become a forest lion ?

I have a buddy that lives near there. The sealions follow the salmon/steelhead/sturgeon even farther upstream than that. It is a really bad issue and sadly culling is the only thing that works. The dams we made give the sea lions an easy meal.
