Posted on May 11, 2019December 12, 2021Some very cute seals with their pups All the seal pups are getting pretty big. They’ll be getting weaned soon and we’ll be seeing them underwater when we go diving. Pup really wants to go up on shore but mom is checking out the scene before she gives the okay. Looking to see if the coast is clear. Some cormorants on a rock just offshore. Lots of seal logs of varying sizes on the seal beach next to Hopkins Marine Station. Just look at these cuties! Lots of speckled logs on the beach. Three juvenile elephant seals further up the beach relaxing before they get back in to do some swimming.
Posted on April 20, 2019December 12, 2021Harbor seals and some scuba divers There were lots of cute seals on the rocks in the harbor this morning at low tide. Look at all these little cuties! You would never guess there are rocks for them to lay out on when the tide is high. A cormorant on the rocks at the breakwater waking up. A night heron in the marina. Seagull getting a meal off the rocks. At the Hopkins beach on the aquarium side. Lots of seals here. Usually they don’t haul out on this one but with pupping season underway, here they are! At the main seal beach. Lots of new little seal loafs. Look at all the cuties! Cute seals everywhere! On the far area of the seal beach. *boop* The seal pups are already little fatties! So many cuties! “Mom, can I have a drink of milk please?” So snuggly! The baby was born yesterday and still has some of its umbilical cord attached. SCUBA divers headed out at Breakwater. Some SCUBA divers walking in. A group of snorkelers heading out. Divers walking into the water.
