Be like a sea lion: eat, bark, belch, cause ruckus, sleep, repeat. 😆

Photo taken last March during the herring spawn. These sea lions overindulged on herring and were drifting in the sea.

I went scouting for wildlife along the east coast of Vancouver Island today for my upcoming photo tours during the herring spawn.

Steller sea lions are starting to show up, I observed them catching fish near the shore.

Bald eagles are back too, calling each other from tree tops. Soon they'll start to build a nest. Took this photo this morning.

Tanille Johnston is a real road warrior! She describes her whirlwind 72 hour tour of the Maritimes. She noted the differences between BC Ferries and the Marine Atlantic ferry service. She and Tony talk about #PR and how many votes Tanille received and yet remains unelected. She is still working at her job and using vacation time. She definitely should go to the House of Commons! #ndp #ndp2026 #bc #britishcolumbia #proportionalRepresentation #cdnpoli #tanillejohnston

Tanille is a proud Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ woman from the We Wai Kai First Nation. A dedicated social worker, mother, and bold new voice for the future of the NDP. With over 14 years of experience, she serves as Director of Community Programs with the First Nations Health Authority and as a City Councillor in Campbell River.

Tanille’s leadership is rooted in action—advocating for equity, building healthier communities, and pushing for institutional change. She’s not here to play it safe. She’s here to build a movement grounded in grassroots organizing and justice.

Hudsonian Whimbrel on the shore of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It was bathing in the sea and came to shore to preen. It hangs out with a flock of black oystercatchers.

Buffleheads (Bucephala albeola) are cute but they dive ''all the time'' and you end up with a lot of photos of the sea. 😆 This is the female.

Le petit garrot est bien mignon mais il est toujours en train de plonger alors tu te retrouves avec plein de photos de la mer. Ceci est la femelle.
