November 15th - Discovery Island (#22

I paddled out to Cadboro Point to meet Dan and Paulo for a morning paddle around the islands. The weather and sea conditions were great  a bit of an ebb on the way out, turning to flood for the return. The birding was excellent! Over 20 species - https://ebird.org/checklist/S202588508 and I also saw some Steller's sea lions, harbour seals and heard a California sea lion. A highlight was seeing hundreds of ancient murrelets by Cadboro Point on the way back.

The tide was nice and high which allowed us to check out some areas that are usually to dry!
