Why the sea lions came for breakfast

Saturday morning was pretty grey and wet here in Puget Sound. My wife convinced me to hang out with our local Audubon folks for an hour of bird watching. Our ferry dock is a pretty convenient place for bird watchers to setup wondrous Leica and Zeiss scopes. I brought my Pentax K10D DSLR, DA*50-135mm, and a cheap but useful Tokina SD 400mm lens on a monopod.
What we found was a rowdy pack of sea lions.
K10D, DA* 50-135 @ 135mm 1/350 f8 ISO 400
Usually we get a few spotted harbor seals here and there, but sea lions tend to keep their distance from the dock. Not this time.
K10D, Tokina SD 400mm 1/750 f8 ISO 400
Why, I wondered, were they here? Finally this young lion's hungry gaze gave me a clue
K10D, Tokina SD 400mm 1/350 f9.5 ISO 400
I followed his line of sight to where the truth became apparent:
K10D, DA* 50-135 @ 55mm 1/180 f8 ISO 400

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
