More house deep cleaning today – getting behind the furniture and doing baseboards. A quiet day for the elephant seal in the grass. He didn’t move than a few meters, mostly just rolling over. His belly is now mostly bare but his back is still covered.

Wildlife notes:

1 surfbird, 2 Caspian turns, 2 harlequin ducks and several eagles were sighted. Did not see any others gulls near the house with newly hatched chicks.
