The elephants haven’t moved around too much, the sea lions were in and out of the water because it did get pretty sunny this afternoon and I did see quite a few pigeon guillemots around today
Saw quite a few boats today, tour boats, fishing boats and sailboats
Ecological
Seems like the seals and sea lions spent most of the day either lazing in the sun or cooling off in the water, the gulls seem to be extra rowdy today, not sure why
Other
the batteries don’t seem to be taking in enough solar power, I find it odd that I still have to run the generator today even though its been very sunny for the past few days
Had the guys working on the project by the student house here today
Kyle came by with a student as well to show him around a bit
Had an ecotour and a couple fishing boats and a sailboat cruise by today as well
Ecological
Both pups still around this morning, the younger pup found a safe spot away from the males near the helicopter pad, so she did a bit of rock climbing to get there
Some boats were cruising by today, fishing and ecotour
Ecological
The oldest pup is nowhere to be found today, she was near the boat shed last night and I have walked around the island a couple times today but I have not seen her anywhere
there is a fourth male elephant seal swimming around, he looks pretty young and I think he has been here before
The youngest pup has been trying to fend off the other males today
a couple ecotours went by this morning when it was more calm
Ecological
The first pup who’s mother has left started exploring today, I was a bit worried when I didn’t see her in front of the house this morning but she was just on the other side of the lighthouse
Notes
I will be heading out tomorrow morning, Mikey will be filling in for me and I will be back on Feb 28th
