Sea lions basking in the sun

We saw these sea lions during the "Islands of Mazatlan" tour at the Mazatlan Bird Festival. The sea lion playing in the water (below left) was very entertaining. It was either trying to get the other sea lion sunbathers on the rock to come play in the water or having absolutely no success getting on the rock himself. Either way, we applauded when the one in the water heaved itself out & had a sun bath too. So, for anyone who likes the natural world it's all happening at the Mazatlan Bird Festival: conservation, ecology, plants, animals, rocks, & every other aspect of nature you might want to find.
