Boats/Visitors/Sightings

• Another group from the Kule foundation came for a tour of the island.

Marine Mammals

• It was an exciting day for Elephant seals as 2 new males showed up, bringing the total count of male Elephant seals to 4. One of the new males stayed in the water on the south side of the island, but the other came on to the shore which led to a fight between the new adult male and the existing adult male. The new adult male was slightly injured near the mouth during the fight. Guy filmed part of the fight, and the video is below.
• The sea lions were barely seen today on the shore, I assume because of the rain. This affected the census count.
