The males were moving around a bit today but the pups mostly stayed in their spots, the little one really likes being away from the rest up there on the helicopter pad
Some boats were cruising by today, fishing and ecotour
Ecological
The oldest pup is nowhere to be found today, she was near the boat shed last night and I have walked around the island a couple times today but I have not seen her anywhere
there is a fourth male elephant seal swimming around, he looks pretty young and I think he has been here before
The youngest pup has been trying to fend off the other males today
Another large male elephant seal showed up today, he might’ve been the one that was here a couple weeks ago but he is the only new one since the pup has been born, he looks almost as large as the biggest male who has been sticking around mom and pup
The mature male elephant seal is staying near the pup and mother
Saw one of the 3 juvenile males around but the other two were somewhere else today, didn’t even see them when I went to do the water sample by the jetty
Notes
had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets lately so I haven’t had to run the generator as much
