What a stellar day we had viewing the Elephant Seals of Ano Nuevo and tidepooling at Davenport Landing! A great group of women from Betty’s List teamed up with Blue Water Ventures for an incredible day.
Mature female elephant seals and juvenilles are returning to the beaches of Ano Nuevo for a catastrophic molt, where patches of both skin and hair flake off their bodies. A shiny new gray coat is revealed.
Juvenille males are around testing their battling skills in the shallows and a few weaned pups or “weaners” remain on the beaches.
April is truly an outstanding time to hike Ano Nuevo, teachers please join us with your students!
Our day ended with a juvenille gray whale breaching just past the surfers at Davenport Landing.
