Ecological

• Slightly less sea lions than last week
• 1 large male elephant seal, I’m hoping its the same one as last year because that one was very protective over the pups, and 1 much smaller male, no females that I can see but there have been a couple small ones coming and going
• The large male does seem to have a gash in his back and many scars as well
• haven’t really seen any neck banded sea lions lately, they might have left by now but I’m still keeping an eye out for them
