5-10-13 Humpback, Mink, and Branded Steller Sea Lions

Friday, May 10th
...out on Maya's Westside Charters for an afternoon trip we headed north to East Pt...


...the Steller sea lions were in abundance and we saw four who had brands on them...311R, 137Y, 404R and what looks like 410R...
...then on to the humpback...yes, I added a 'bit of color' to this image!

...based on the markings, this humpback I also saw last year on April 25th and again on May 11th...
...maybe we have a new annual visitor to the inland waters to add to the other humpbacks that are increasing in numbers in here...

...just after exiting Georgeson Pass going toward the harbor, one of the passengers spotted a mink! 

Excellent spotting!...and an excellent trip!
