  • The sea lions numbers were still kind of holding steady until yesterday, a couple hundred of them have left again and there are still a few hundred sticking around.
  • There are now 5 elephant seals, two of them tagged, the small pink tag is still around along with a familiar one green tag C887 who I called Flounder last year.
  • Two bigger males, one of them the familiar Bernard, a slightly smaller guy and then flounder being the smallest male along with two females that are under a year old.
  • Not much else going on here the weather has been very dreary, still a mild winter though I’ve only had one or two storms so far
