  • There are a few sea lion pups around, still no elephant seals
  • Not as many sea lions around today, going to do the census tomorrow to hopefully get higher numbers, because there have been a lot of sea lions around lately just not today

  • Guy came by and dropped off a friend and my food order

Ecological

  • No elephant seals at the moment but there are plenty of sea lions around and a couple pups
