  1. 🌊🔭 Welcome to the 1990s, where you can *almost* see the Farallon Islands if your browser wasn't a fossilized relic! 🦖📵 Apparently, enabling JavaScript is as difficult as navigating to a webpage that doesn't crash your dial-up modem. 💻😂

  3. ✨ **A Truly Remarkable Comeback!** ✨
    Over 400 adorable fur seal pups have been spotted at the Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge off the coast of San Francisco! 🦭 This heartwarming sight is a testament to decades of conservation efforts, starting with the 1911 Northern Fur Seal Treaty and strengthened by the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act. 🌊

  4. The best thing about pelagic birding: sometimes, there are whales.

  5. Spoiler alert: when they couldn't decontaminate the ships, they scuttled them at the Farallon Islands where they sit on the bottom of the Pacific until this day.

  6. Late last night I put together some videos and photos of two trips I'd made to the Farallon Islands near San Francisco. (Turn on the captions)

    I discovered a passion for pelagic bird life and marine mammals.

  7. I was never much of a 'nature' person. I grew up in a big city. Then I moved to the Bay Area. Now, I wake up early and look at birds. And even take photos and videos of them!

    Here, my first 'nature' video: my trips to the Farallon Islands

    Info in captions, coz I'm #ActuallyAutistic and I hate talking. All photos and videos taken between Jul 2022 and Jul 2023

  8. Southeast Farallons from San Bruno Mountain in near-infrared. Despite the clear skies this morning, the seeing was pretty terrible. And a bit late for whales I suppose. #FarallonIslands #SanBrunoMountain #SFBA
