Boats/Visitors/Sightings

• Just a few ecotour boats in the area today
• Kyle came by to drop off some food supplies for me, but because of the dropping tide he wasn’t able to stay long enough to come ashore.

Birds

• The seagull eggs have started to hatch! I estimate about 20 babies as of this morning. It’s hard to get a count of them as the seagulls are now at their most aggressive – I got hit on the head a few times, but thankfully I had my hard hat on.
• Spotted some more oystercatcher chicks, but again they were gone by the time I got close. They are REALLY hard to photograph.

Marine mammals

• Yet another day of no sea lions
• Elephant seal count remains the same – one of the adult males got all the way up to the base of the lighthouse today!
