Weaners take over the beach

In March, the uproar of breeding season is past. Weaners have the run of the beach.

The rain we had generated large amounts of runoff from the ranchlands across the highway. But the weaners are grown up enough now that they aren't in any danger. They used the stream for breath-holding practice.

One had trouble climbing out. as he lurched up the sandy side, it collapsed under him.

 He finally moved to a section where the bank was shorter and was able to climb out. Another weaner took an interest.
