Actions & Comments
Walking back through Mile 245 after the Mile 246 survey, was continuing to pick up any trash (volunteered with SOLVE). Happened upon a dead sea mammal. Not being a biologist or zoologist could not exactly determine if it had been a baby seal or maybe baby sea lion. Photographed it, including some houses in the background for location purposes. Reported it to SOLVE volunteers at the tent setup at Roads End and emailed them pictures as well.

Just wanted to say there have been a lot of brown pelicans this season, more than I've ever seen, and I'm wondering if they will stay for the winter?
