So full... Glaucous-winged Gull - Larus glaucescens These were all over the salmon runs. Most seemed sated.
More bar American Black Bear - Ursus americanus Fishing for salmon near the Valdez hatchery. Quite the gaggle of photographers all around.

No salmon for you! American Black Bear - Ursus americanus This young bear was informed that, no, he could not come into the hatchery and dine on the fresh salmon buffet.

No ears Harbor Seal - Phoca vitulina A few of these were hanging around the Valdez hatchery. They kept well clear of the huge Steller Sea Lions.
Searching for salmon Steller Sea Lion - Eumetopias jubatus A couple of these were foraging in the mass of salmon at the Valdez hatchery. Apparently fussy eaters, they went through the school repeatedly, looking for the tastier salmon species. I think the abundant fish were: Pink Salmon - Oncorhynchus gorbuscha The sea lions were said to be after the tastier, but less common: Coho Salmon - Oncorhynchus kisutch I hope I got those correct!
