Summary
[edit]DescriptionPiedras Blancas Elephant Seal rookery, Jan. 2013.jpg |
Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris) at sunrise early light at Piedras Blancas, San Simeon, CA . 26 Jan 2013. Looking south from the main observation area and boardwalk. The Piedras Blancas rookery, on Highway 1 seven miles north of San Simeon on the California Central Coast, is home to about 17,000 animals. Because the tide was very high at ~ 5.5’ this morning, the elephant seals were especially crowded into this narrow swath of beach. (10 images in this set) Photographing the Northern Elephant Seals (M. angustirostris) at Sunrise. Sat, Jan. 26, 2013, on a slightly foggy day that turned into a beautiful sunny experience. Mating, giving birth, fighting, yelling and squealing, and vying for very limited beach space, this Elephant Seal display is a must-see phenomenon, especially during the months of December, January, and February. See Friends of the Elephant Seal's www.elephantseal.org/ for more information. Photo © 2013 “Mike” Michael L. Baird, mike {at] mikebaird d o t com, flickr.bairdphotos.com.
