Stellar’s sea lions rest on a buoy marking the most remote edge of the Copper River Delta.
Stellar’s sea lions love to hang out on buoys. Safe from rare but ever-present packs of killer whales, the same sea lions that are so timid and quick to disappear when approached by our boat, feel no desire to leave the buoy.
As they are rocked to sleep, the constant clanging of the bell must be something of a lullaby.
Michael: Thank you for the wonderful articles in Country magazine. It almost brought tears to my eyes remembering the times I had in Alaska. I have lived there five times now, both in Fairbanks and Anchorage, and miss it to my soul.
But, your photography takes me back and I just wanted to thank you for it. You are to AK what Craig Tuttle is to Oregon. I hope you and your family are still living the dream. Sincerely, Sandi Allen/Sutherlin OR
