Harbor Seal
I
ran across a group of Harbor Seals while doing some bird photography along
the southern coasts of California recently. Although I was mainly interested
in the shore birds, the seals proved to be a very interesting subjects.
The
Harbor Seal is capable of diving to depths greater than 1450ft and stay
submerged for almost 30 minutes. Their diet, as you would guess, consists
mostly of fish including herring, cod, flounder and salmon. They have been
known to have a life span more than 30 years if they are able to stay clear
of sharks, whales and polar bears.
Travel safe and Good Shooting!
