Lots of pups!

The breeding season is going well, apparently unaffected by the warm temperatures. It's been warmer out at the bluff than it usually is in the summer. The bright blue docent jackets are too warm. I've left mine in the car and spent the morning talking to people in shirtsleeves. The seals show no indication of any discomfort.

 This mother and pup were contented on the sand ..

 until this male came along to disturb them.

This female is scarred by an entanglement, but it's no longer around her neck. She's fine now.
