The few mothers who remain on the beach are thin from nursing their pups.
They will soon join their sisters back in the ocean, feeding and gaining blubber.
This blog records my experiences as a docent at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery on Highway 1 in California. Summer is the annual molt, when their skin peels off. Females and juveniles in May and June, bulls in July and August.
