The first in one of the strangest and largest shoots i've done in awhile. Born of anguish and the sincere love for the power of accessories.
We came to this Monastery located on the San Pedro River because it is included in most of the local birding guides. The 130-acre site includes a dedicated birding Trail. I was amused to find this pair of Peacocks foraging in an enclosure surrounding an Oriental garden/pond constructed as a place for quiet reflection and prayer. (They even had a sign requestion that children be excluded from the enclosure.) This noisy specie was unclear on the concept! Peacocks are extremely racous, and they have selected a tree within this enclosure as their roost tree!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 21, 2021) - Hospitalman Illiana Medina of Naval Hospital Jacksonville’s Behavioral Health team notifies the clinic manager of a walk-in patient. Medina, a native of El Paso, Texas, says, “Having a good work - life balance helps keep sailors focused on their mission and being safe.” May is Mental Health Month. Good mental health helps service members be mission-ready, prepared to deal with the unique stresses of deployment, and equipped to identify when they need help.

This intriguing species has a habit of running with its tail arched over its back. (I rarely capture this behavior, but you can see several pics of this in Google images.) It has several subfamilies and is found mainly in three SW states (AZ, NV, and CA)

(Personal Note: On shore or on a dock in a harbor like this, the main danger to California Sea Lions is humans. Boats with propellers, fishing line and gear, trash in the water and people who wish to harm them on purpose are the primary threats. I do not know what alerted this herd of CA. Sea Lions, but they are very vocal and most likely were alerted by one of the mature males. As you can see they responded on mass and reentered the safety of the water.

Behavior
California sea lions are very social animals, and groups often rest closely packed together at favored haul-out sites on land or float together on the ocean's surface in "rafts." They are sometimes seen "porpoising," or jumping out of the water, presumably to speed up their swimming. Sea lions have also been seen "surfing" breaking waves. California sea lions are opportunistic eaters, feeding on squid, octopus, herring, rockfish, mackerel, and small sharks. In turn, sea lions are preyed upon by Orcas (killer whales) and great white sharks.
At The Marine Mammal Center
"California sea lions are our most common patients at The Marine Mammal Center. In 2009, we admitted over 1700 animals. Nearly 1400 of these were California sea lions. The most common reasons California sea lions are rescued include: malnutrition, domoic acid toxicosis, leptospirosis, cancer, pneumonia, entanglement in debris or fishing gear, gunshots, and other wounds. In 2009, many of the sea lions that stranded were malnourished yearlings. Animals can become severely underweight from maternal separation, disease, lack of food sources, effects of El Niño and other environmental factors. In 1998, the Center diagnosed the first case of domoic acid toxicosis in marine mammals; a condition caused by harmful algal blooms, which causes the animals to have seizures. Although the Center has conducted extensive studies to better understand this disease, hundreds of sea lions are affected annually." (Source: Marine Mammal Center 2015: www.marinemammalcenter.org/)

Opened in 1829 as part of a controversial movement to change the behavior of inmates through "confinement in solitude with labor," Eastern State Penitentiary quickly became one of the most expensive and most copied buildings in the young United States. It is estimated that more than 300 prisons worldwide are based on the Penitentiary's wagon-wheel, or "radial" floor plan.
Some of America's most notorious criminals were held in the Penitentiary's vaulted, sky-lit cells, including bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone. After 142 years of consecutive use, Eastern State Penitentiary was completely abandoned in 1971, and now stands, a lost world of crumbling cell blocks and empty guard towers.
