Sea lion census

While our study abroad group was out at Bird Island, we took part in a sea lion census.  We counted number of males, females, those on island and those in the water.  In addition, we counted any who had fishing nets on them.  You can see there were many around (and they were very interested in us!)

Our data were:

  • 324 in the water
  • 397 on island
  • 48 bull sea lions
  • 4 seen with nets
