Weaner on the trail! Near Hearst Beach, northern SLO County

He/she was literally blocking the trail! And dead to the world, dozing in the sun. I was regretting not wearing different shoes, as my ancient trainers were promptly soaked thru, from last night's rain.

I had seen this his little guy ('little' by E-seal standards -- he already outweighs me!) on this beach a few days ago, with a HUGE scab of tar stuck to his head. I reported him, and I guess Friends of the E-Seals responded -- they had moved the CAUTION signs, and he had a fresh tag on his rear flipper. He's lying on the side that had the tar -- but he did wake up as I was trying to squeeze past him on the way out, and I think the tar was gone.
