Sea otters, sea lions, and a wee little bird

A very cute seal pair in the harbor in Monterey.
A pile of sea lion pups on the jetty.

A big bull sea lion sunning himself.
A little sea lion pup snoozing on a much bigger sea lion. Yup, the pup is resting its head on the big sea lion.

Another sea lion pup looking real cute.

Pretty sure this is Plucky, our favorite sea otter.
Go, Plucky, go!

Coast Guard helicopter water rescue demonstration at Breakwater

We saw a water rescue demonstration put on by the regional Coast Guard helicopter today. It was a great show during the Coast Guard open house here in Monterey.
