"Baby Seals"
The saddest issue since we arrived on the Washington coast are baby seals. We have seen a total of three between Ocean Shores and Long Beach. We were told that during the month of May the mothers leave their pups on the beach while they go back out to sea and feed for a few weeks. These pups are like babies and they make baby noises. If you pick them up the mothers will not take them back because of our human scent. Also there is $5000 dollar fine. Most of the time the pup wanders to far away from the water. They become disoriented and starve before the mother returns. Today at Ocean Shores we drove by a carcus of a pup that didnt make it. It made us very sad. Rest in peace little Baby Seal.
