From Point Blue Conservation Science (formerly PRBO) on the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge.
An account of the trials and tribulations of conducting ecological fieldwork on a small, rocky island 28 miles west of San Francisco (37.7 N, 120 W)
A huge battle today established Don Francisco as the ultimate alpha male elephant seal of Southeast Farallon Island. Don defeated BobBond on Mirounga Beach and he has now beat every male on the island.
Excellent video!!! Go Don Francisco (I actually cheered for him while listening to Monica's excited voice :)
ReplyDeleteNice article from the Chronicle too - very good quotable quotes from our winter pair on the island :)
