Title: sea lions at bonneville
Post by: david0 on April 21, 2013, 07:16:26 PM: I stopped to try out my 100-400mm lens on the sea lions at the dam and got this picture. I didn't notice the salmon until after I got home.

How about removing the problem all together rather than making it smaller?

They are a protected species and do alot of the damage to the oversized sturgeon. The California sea lions are eligle for removal. I wish the tribes would "ceramonially harvest" some of them (or all.)
