(Found this morning (3-18--08) at Fort Baker, Marin County. The animal has been stranded for 2 days, is being watched by the Marine Mammal Center and is said to be alright. As there is little traffic at this beach, it has been decided to leave /her and hope that she will find her way back out to the Pacific. The green stripe was put on by the MMC to mark the animal (green because she was found on St Patrick's Day........) The ranger named her "josephine Baker"......
Today (3-23-08) she swam back into open water! Hurra!!!!
UPDATE: ..and on 3-25-08, J. was found again on another beach, even further inland........she will now finally be taken to the Marine Mammal Center tomorrow where they can care for her and protect her from people, dogs and coyotes........!!!
