Lions in Winter?

Did word get out in the Sea Lion world that Point Richmond Beach was the place to winter?  It has been so noisy around here lately that I am having a hard time sleeping! Has anyone else noticed this? I have woken up several mornings dreaming that I am in the Pinniped exhibit at Sea World!  I snapped these photos in the back yard recently...

 

Look at all these guys, there must be 15 of them out there!

And then there is this otter... what is with him!  Now he's hangin' with a heron!  Isn't this how rumors get started?
