Oh, that's weird, I wonder why that happened? At any rate, thanks for swapping them over :D The seal is so cute!

Hi Birdlady6000. This was in Ewa Beach, just on the little neighborhood beach near the house where we were staying. And LauraMaria, thanks for the tip. The sign pic was actually the second pic uploaded, but for some reason showed as the main pic.

Very nice. Which beach was this on? Don't worry, I am not going to go there and hassle it! I just love to know that there are still some places where they can be...we saw one a couple years ago on a beach just windward of Waikiki!

Hi Erin, thanks for sharing a photo of this wonderful but endangered animal with us. I really do like the sign, I'm glad to see that there is some enforcement about not disturbing these seals :) However, could you change the order of these pictures for us? We'd prefer it if the first picture was of the organism, since that's our main focus on Project Noah! Thanks, and once again, what a great spotting :)
