A California sea lion surfing the waves during the herring spawn last year. Do you know how to identify a California sea lion? They have a bump on their head. #photography #wildlife #SeaLion #HerringSpawn #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia

Gulls hover over sea lions hoping to find herring scraps. The colour of the sea is due to a herring spawn. Photo taken last year. Des mouettes volètent au-dessus de lions de mer dans l'espoir de trouver des restants de hareng. La couleur de la mer provient du frai des harengs. Photo prise l'année dernière. #photography #photographie #HerringSpawn #wildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

Be like a sea lion: eat, bark, belch, cause ruckus, sleep, repeat. 😆 Photo taken last March during the herring spawn. These sea lions overindulged on herring and were drifting in the sea. #photography #SeaLions #HerringSpawn #VancouverIslandWildlife #wildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada
