Can you spot the harbor seal that isn’t actually a harbor seal? I think this might be a California sea lion. Here’s a close-up:

I scanned across that group with binoculars, looked right at that animal, noted that there was something different about it, but didn’t think anything more. I was looking for baby harbor seals, and it clearly wasn’t one of those, so I just kept going.

My brain cracks me up sometimes.
