Field Notes

Notes:

During the summer months I observe a group of seals that use a haul out near my house. This will be my 23rd year of almost daily observations (wind and weather dependent). I can recognize about 30 individuals by markings and/or scars and there about 5 who have showed up every summer since my study began.
