Rising tide


Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) in Bodega Harbor on 7 October 2018.  

The seals were hauled out on the edge of the tidal flats (near the boat channel).  Their heads and tails/hind flippers are arched up out of the water, but the tide has come in and covered their mid-sections (so their bellies are still resting on the bottom).
