Dockside

  

Driving by Mason's Marina in Bodega Harbor today (16 April 2025), I noticed a Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina) on one of the floating docks, but it looked like something else was there, too.  So I turned around for a better view and realized it was a small pup.  From a distance, I snapped a quick photo for the record.  Reviewing the photo later, I realized the pup still has an umbilical cord, so it's likely less than a week old.
