Central California is a Mecca for a wondrous diversity of mammals and birds.  Harbor seals and sea lions are among the most abundant, frolicking to the delight of shoreline viewers.  Sea otters find comfort and food in the canopy of giant kelp, as do marine birds such as terns and egrets.    Beyond the kelp, whales, dolphins and various types of diving birds take advantage of the bountiful harvest of fishes, krill and other prey.  Wetlands, like Elkhorn Slough near Monterey Bay, also host a splendid array of our furry and feathered friends.
