Yup........ the more common name is California Sea Lion. but seal will
work too.
A few sorta turned up dead just down stream of the Bonnie vill locks.

I dont know what the big deal is bout some salmon eating sea dogs.
Heck they were here eating salmon w a y b4 everyone started gettin so
uptight bout salmon. In fact early 1900s Columbia salmon were the
largest in the world AND had masive harbor seal and sea lion
populations. Seemed like there were enough salmon for pinipeds and
people then. Somthin musta happened. Humm I wonder whats diffrent now
