We enjoyed a fairly typical fall day weather-wise here at Race Rocks today. Temperatures max 12.0 C -- min 9.1 C -- reset 11.3 C -- Total rain fall for the day 0.4 mm. Returning from a noon meeting on campus we did a boat tour around all the islets - we counted 280 Northern or Steller sea lions - 295 Californian sea lions and 220 Harbour seals hauled out on the rocks. We also counted approx. 80 Cormorants. Earlier in the day we saw 2 ' fish balls' with several hundred sea birds feeding just east of Great Race.

When I was at the MPA today at 14:40 I observed one of the elephant seals fighting with a Northern sea lion for a position on the centre rocks. I had not seen a cross species conflict like that before. They were very aggresive, it was unclear who had the upper flipper and the outcome was inconclusive. I took two visitors from CBC Radio Canada french service out.
