Lunch with Zalophus

19 Aug 2015.  Another brief-PAD--tomorrow should be the day I catch up to today.  Then we'll all be here, finally.  And here is a place I'm happy to be because Rob got a state bird today.

Until then, I give you a portrait of the omnipresent (especially this year) Zalophus californianus, the California Sea Lion, taken at North Landing:

This poor young Mourning Dove thought we were having it for lunch--we didn't do that.

"Dear Ape, please don't eat me.  Sincerely, Dove."
