A Soggy Day Out in the Field
Posted January 27th, 2009 by LaurenRandallLauren Randall at Año Nuevo State Reserve, CA--The TOPP E Seal Team’s work is never done! Especially during this busy time of year: the elephant seal breeding season. We’re hard at work every day, rain or shine! We researchers frequently have to face the elements heat, wind, cold, and yes even rain! Today, we got pretty soggy: we were out in a downpour to recover Poppy’s tags.
