Welcome Wagon waits for Uno this morning

Uno-splash-buzzshawAs usual, young harbor seal Uno had a Seal Sitters welcoming committee lying in wait this morning. The early morning greeters noticed her leisurely foraging out in the Bay. After awhile, she did some off close-shore reconnaissance and one attempt to come ashore before finally landing on her favorite part of Cove 3 at 9:45am. The perimeter was quickly established and First Responder Melinda alerted Scheduler Colette to begin calling volunteers.

Early morning walker and volunteer John was on hand to help out, just as he has done virtually every day at the cove since Uno started showing up there. First Responders Robin, David and Eilene were there as well.

Colette did a great job, lining up volunteers Richard, Melinda J, Barbara, Sherry, Karen and Karen, and Victoria for the full day. The Doodle calendar worked out perfectly - all volunteers that had scheduled themselves for today, as well as Buzz showed up for some “Uno time”.

Once again, Uno entertained her veteran fans as well as making some new ones. She returned to the sea at 2:50 pm (photo above). No coughing was noted today and Uno seemed to get a bit more rest than yesterday.
