7-29-16: Stephens Passage, SE Alaska

Stephens Passage is a 105 mile long channel between Admiralty Island to the west and the Alaska mainland and Douglas Island near Juneau to the east.


















Immature Glaucous-winged Gull




Lots of Harbor Seals on the shore












Steller's Sea Lion
Note the chunk taken out of one of his hind flippers, probably in a fight with a larger male


And also note the fishing net constricting the neck of the sea lion 2nd from the right.



Orcas
 Large Male with a 6 foot high dorsal fin



Coming right toward the Delphinus














Probably Mom on the right and her offspring close on her left (offspring stay with their mothers their entire life)




Tail lob by a female Orca
