Mother Elephant Seal Departure & Snow

Weather

  • Visibility: 15 Miles
  • Wind: 5-10 N/NE
  • Sky: cloudy with heavy snowfall and fog
  • Water: mostly calm

Boats/Visitors

  • Had a nice visit from a veteran ecoguardian Guy Ouradou along with a pearson college alumni member for a quick visit to the island.

Ecological

  • Some time in the night the mother elephant seal left the island to feed and let her pup become independent and eventually make it’s own way to the water.
  • Surprisingly Bernard (father elephant seal) has still been very close and protective to the two pups that are now side by side.
