I was out early this morning and saw the monk seal coming back in. She looks a lot bigger in the water. She seemed to be stopping to catch a few last minute fish – so – I didn’t hang around and wait to see her land. But, land she did. I talked to the monk seal police this afternoon. They said that everyone had been very respectful. But, they wished that she would move to a more isolated beach.
Maybe today some small kid for the very first time saw a monk seal and maybe this is just what it will take to start that kid on a lifetime of wildlife conservation. Maybe an elder like myself sees her and realizes there is still wonder. Maybe that is why she is sharing the beach with us.
