Yep, and munching on salmon. I hear that the people who fish the Columbia and the Willamette have fits with them.
Nice pic..you caught it showing some serious canine's!

Great picture. I wonder how they got their name?

Yes, great pictures @Oregon Viking
The earliest documented use of the term “sea lion” is from 1601 by the English scholar Philemon Holland. It’s thought to derive from the shaggy ‘mane’ on adult males having a resemblance to a lion’s mane, perhaps reinforced by their lion-roar-like bellowing.
The name only properly refers to eared seals, with earless seals just being known as “seals”. Oregon is home to three sea lion species and two seal species. That looks to be the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus).
