Carpinteria Bluffs is one of only a few sites on the mainland in southern California where harbor seals give birth. At the Bluffs there is a small protected beach near an oil service dock where they haul out. On this December day about 100 seals were present with a high tide that had pushed them to the back edge of the beach.
Cool video. I've not yet been to Carpinteria to see this colony. There is a colony in La Jolla CA (San Diego area) where births occur though.
