DOLPHINS FEEDING IN THE SEA KELP - WATCHING FOR WHALES

Though not in earnest, I've been looking over the sea cliff to see what I can see.  In the last week I met a couple people who said they saw migrating whales in the Pacific near enough to shore.  So I'm inspired to keep looking.

This morning - a small pod of dolphins - grey - and the cry of a single sea lion.
