A rare elephant seal sighting

May 26, 2023 – A fun sail down to Whale Rocks to see the Steller sea lions. Other highlights include bald eagles, harbor seals, black oystercatchers, a purple ochre sea star, and an elephant seal on Goose Island!  Perhaps this is the same juvenile we’ve seen on Harbor Rock last year.
