Tag Archives: Harbor Seal mother and pup

David Wickland photographed a Harbor Seal mother with her newborn pup.

The mother touches her nose to her pup's face, bonding.

The afterbirth is coveted by many birds, as it is very nutritious. A group of Turkey Vultures moved in to squabble over who gets to eat it.

As we learn more about Nature, we learn how connected everything is. It's a wonder to behold.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
