I say "continues", since this has been going on for a couple of weeks now. Working 6 days a week, we just passed this phenomenon each day on our way from Moss Beach to our gallery. We figured that all of the local snap-shooters who have more time on their hands would get some nice shots that we all could enjoy. But on that rare day off, we decided to check it out. Mike & I had intended to go out on the jetty for closer shots of the pelicans feeding, but decided not to after seeing another vehicle's car window broken out in the parking lot. We later saw some officers surrounding the vehicle, to take a report - but that is beside the point! We didn't want to go too far from the car....
Even though the snapshots I took for this column are not close-up long shots, you get the idea of the feeding frenzy....and it was even wilder earlier in the week. The harbor seal you see in a couple of the shots was friendly! But watching the crazy dive-bombing & splashing, I should have just taken video....glad I was wearing a hat!
