Great capture of those noisy characters! I love to hear them bark! They bit someone here at Newport on the thigh last week! Pesty little beggers but cute! You got a good one! #3412080

It's like they're on lookout--each having his own field of view, on the watch. Well done, Donna. #3412411

Thank you Bill, Jenny, Joyce and Ken for your great comments. This was captured off the coast of Oceanside, CA. We were on our fishing boat. The seal lions are always fun to visit especially when we have our children with us!!! #3412759
