During a routine check of the beaches and coves early this morning, our volunteer was pleasantly surprised by the sight of a great blue heron and a seal pup enjoying the warmth of the sun. It was a very trans-species morning since you can hear the barks of the sea lions out in the bay and the cawing of the crows - in addition to the drone of the trucks in the Port. Based on distinct markings, it is determined that the pup is not one that we have looked after this season. This pup has great body weight and no evidence of any health issues. It is reassuring that our pups seem to have found a good food source to help increase their chances of surviving the cold winter months.
