I couple of those Columbia Sealions floated up on beaches with more holes in their body than they were borne with. Can't say that I'm too upset about it - they seem to be healthy as a population.

On one of our trips down there, as we were running back to the dock, we saw this great big commotion in the middle of the river. Two seals were rolling around each other and frothing on the top. We first thought they were fighting over a fish, but no fish was to be seen. After a bit, it appeared that they were busily trying to make little seals. That was a sight!
