Day 11 for Pebbles

     
Chubby Pebbles continues to call West Seattle his home, hauling out for the eleventh day in a row. Shortly after hauling out early this morning, he stretched and yawned and slept in the warm sun. One could even see the frothy nursing residue from his mother’s rich milk.

In this photo from today, Pebbles shows off the fan-like structure of his rear flippers which propel him through the water. True to form, he returned to Elliott Bay about 6:45 this evening. It will be interesting to see if Pebbles continues to haul out in this cove after he is weaned - after all, this beach is what he has come to know as his home.
