We took a tour of the Peninsula Valdez today. This is the area just outside of Trelew and Puerto Madryn where we are staying. It is known for lots of Cormorants, Sea Lions and Elephant Seals. We saw all of the above including the birth of a Sea Lion. Well, we think we saw a birth. Our guide told us that when the seagulls congregate around Sea Lions that there is usually a birth. We saw the birds, something red that looked like an umbilical cord but could not see a baby. That is because the proud dad was busy keeping all other sea lions away but so many were in close proximity and so many pups were there that we could have been looking at a newborn and not known it as so many babies were all wet from the water. Anyhow, we will always think we saw a live birth today.
