Ecological Notes:
- 7 Elephant Seals on the grass, including 2 “pups” from this season
- Spotting from the rear deck of the house, I noted the single Sea Otter in the Kelp bed off the East end of the island . Took a quick picture from the deck, and then headed to the north shore, to follow along the rock edge to get a better vantage point …… took the long way around to avoid the Oyster Catcher nest posted yesterday
From the back deck 600mm
From the shoreline
- Did you know? California Sea Lions get gray fur on the top of their head, as well as their chin when they grow old? Eventually, their backs too!
