Nothing too wild to report today!

The two female elephant seals that have been hanging around the south side of the island have now been on the boat launch all day. The one with the green tag is L334 who I spotted here in the spring. She was tagged in Ano Nuevo, California and Race Rocks is the first place she was spotted after being tagged a year prior – such a far journey! I updated the Ano Nuevo team and will be interested to see if she’s been seen anywhere else lately.

Greg brought over some fresh water today as the sea water by the jetty is still too full of sea lions and their feces to pump into the cistern.

Tons of humpbacks around all day today, and I hear the northern lights might make an appearance tonight so I’ll keep you posted!
