Ecological Notes:
- 4 Elephant Seals still in the grass area, including 2 adult females, 1 juvenile male, and the last male pup from this season.
- This one was napping at the junction of 4 pathways. Normally not a big deal, but right now there are gull nests everywhere!
You can leave the cart and wheelbarrow alone for now.
- While there are too many Gull nests to count, other pairs are still courting and nest building.
-
