Field Notes

Description:

These seals are huge. A bit of a nuisance because they are large, noisy, and in an urban area. The colors vary.

Notes:

Photos taken from a boat tour.

I was not there. This was spotted by my partner who was there the weekend of September 30, 2010, for training. The pictures were taken on a bouncy boat ride. Post the pictures! I'd love to see them.

I have a similar spotting from Fisherman's wharf! When were you here?
