Lots of newborn elephant seal pups on the beach! They struggle to nurse, but succeed well enough. Another pregnant female comes ashore in the background. Beautiful day after the storm, extremely low tide. Tomorrow at 8 am the tide will be one of the higher of the year, a King Tide.

A group of visitors and I watched this elephant seal mother give birth this morning. That darn gull irritated her, pecking at the birth products as the pup was born. We watched for about an hour and a half.

Here’s this morning’s King Tide at Piedras Blancas. Sunny. The juvenile seals are okay with being tossed around in the surf. They have migrated at least once and are comfortable under water. Seal pups who will be born in December and January can’t swim, and may drown.
