If you have never witnessed the resurgence of life with the return of the herring it is something you should consider.These photos were taken this afternoon on Tribune Bay showing some of the thousands of seabirds that congregate to feast on the herring roe. 
Besides the multitude of seabirds including large numbers of eagles, throngs of seals and sea lions descend upon the area to gorge on herring. It is not uncommon to see them asleep in the water after eating their fills. When sleeping, they typically lay on their backs with fins sticking out of the water. This is fairly common sight during the spawn.
