Monterey Bay Harbor Seal pics from this past weekend:

I have a number of neat shots of this Harbor Gal and her pup, as they spent all day Sunday being very chill, mostly lounging on the beach, but periodically taking a quick dip into the water, probably to cool off on an unusually warm day for the bay.

And yes, the water was that clear...

Monterey Bay Harbor Seal pics from this past weekend:

Based on the image, this Harbor Gal looks like she is having the time of her life. But in reality she was in in a foul mood all day; and I strongly suspect in labor.

For the 4 hours I was around on Sunday she never stayed still, moving from the shore to the water, then to the rocks, and periodically barking quite loudly.

I would not be surprised if she has pupped by now.

One more Harbor Seal and Pup Pic before calling it a night.

Hopkins Marine Station Beach.

Pacific Grove, California.

As of this morning (and per one of our resident experts), there have been about 8 or so pups born at the Hopkins Marine Station Beach.

About half of those were hanging with their moms yesterday and today. The calm seas and incredibly beautiful weather in Monterey this weekend has meant that most of seals (and pups) are out in the water.

So, fewer photo opportunities. But still...

Next weekend will likely be peak pupping at the beach.

April is when the Monterey Harbor Seals pup and there have been about a half dozen so far this year.

So, most weekends this month you will find me at the Hopkins Marine Station Beach.

No pup here (I'll have some over the next few days), but a neat shot of one of the Harbor Gals leaning into that 1st wave on the way out the harbor today.

Watch: Seal pup climbs ashore to rest on Helsinki rocks

The sudden melting of the sea ice around Helsinki this spring means seals are closer to the shore than they usually would be, but returning them to the water is best left to professionals.
