Rumors are to be believed. Rob Rockly and Don Mastwell are heading back out to the Farallones. Rob's trip was cut short by a pesky eyeball infection(?), resulting in some Seriously Missed Birds, but the pain was more obtuse than it could have been.
If rumors suggest that I am already on The Island, those rumors are Lies.
Rumors that I have unfinished business, however, are true. I do have unfinished business. Here you will find business, finished. The final blog of the 2015 season.
First order of business:
Alas, it is true. The Stahlian Hordes were able to surge to victory in the great Battle of El Niño. However, a rematch has been ordered and will commence Saturday, 24 September, upon the arrival of Don and Rob on The Island.
Here, now, are your eight missing portraits from 2015.

| This is a Pelagic Cormorant. Contrary to unpopular belief, this is not a snake. |

| This must be one of the least disappointed bird species that ends up on SEFI, the lovely Rock Wren. Please, friend, inform the Canyon Wrens of our stony bounty. |
 |
| "Bloody Mary Bloody Mary Bloody Mary" The smaller of these two Elephant Seals (bottom) took a grazing bite from a shark--it was a shallow wound and likely healed right up. |

| "Hello" |

Red-breasted Nuthatches are probably somewhat more disappointed than Rock Wrens. Few things to hatch.
