Killer Whales move in close?
FRom over 1900 to only a few seen here in recent days.
They moved to Oakland.. or Sounds like they are out fishing is the best guess.. but ya never know.
Probably more like "Anchovies Going."
“So long and thanks for all the fish”
Michael Moore standing on the river bank drooling couldn’t have helped.
They can’t find jobs........even they know the economy has gone to hell. Probably moved to Texas.
They all went Delta Smelt fishing.

Supposedly animals can predict earthquakes......so, I’m wondering if they know the BIG ONE is about to hit San Francisco & have thus moved out of town!
The sea lions moved in to Fishermas’s Wharf just after the Loma Prieta earthquake, Oct. 17, 1989 (the one that delayed the World Series.
They took over docks where they had never been before, and they’ve been there ever since, sometimes in larger numbers than before. But they have never gone away completely.
That’s why the fuss.
No offense to you California FReepers, but here's hoping for the big one..........
Haven’t they had some pretty weird weather out there the last month or so? I’m all the way across the country and down the continent from there but seems to me there have been a couple of really potent storms come ashore there then make their way ‘cross country. I would expect them to behave differently if the weather was really different. I know in our areas the manatees all head for the power plants when the waters in the bays get cold. If the weather was really rough or cold seems they would head for someplace warmer and quieter.
LOL
Mexican feast?
