First entry

This is my 3rd week on San Juan Island, at Friday Harbor Labs. As I have lived in the city my whole life, it is so nice to live somewhere with so much wildlife. Deer are about as common as people on this island. The first day I was here, I sighted some Dall's Porpoises and seals at Lime Kiln park. I have seen quite a few raccoons, and one black fox scampering along the beach at night. Looking under rocks at low tide or tires on the dock reveals many marine species. Our Icthyology class seining trip brought up many animals from the deep, some of which I have put pictures up of. I have seen some quails wandering around campus. Many of the observations I have put pictures up of are in captivity at the labs, but have all been found in Puget Sound.
