Found a dead sea lion on the beach at beach access #50.
Report Details
Found a dead sea lion on the beach at beach access #50. It was not here a week ago when we did our coast walk. It was pretty badly decomposed so may have died at sea and been washed up. Hard to determine if there was any trauma involved. There was also a dead bird not far away - possibly a common murre; no leg bands.
Conditions
Temperature: 60 F. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: N. Tide Level: 3.0 feet.

Not a bad fall day for a walk with our out-of-town visitors, but walking the beach was impossible due to the high tide and big waves, which were reaching the beach grass area and bouncing large pieces of driftwood around.
